[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 445381, member: 13140"] Center Consols are super hot right now all the way into the 35' range. There is a mod some folks do to the Starcraft when it's stripped like yours. It basically an L bracket that gets pop riveted from the floor cross braces to the side. It takes pressure off of that joint between the bottom and the side. Maybe some cracked there IDK but it should be able to take a pounding then. That will be important because with a CC you can stand to absorb waves with your legs and then tend to pound the boat harder. That 85 will be a lot of motor on that boat so you will want the console foward like some of the new ones to acomodate heavy 4 strokes. If you find the 70 then keep the console weight back. The ride is better in the back. I skied behind the same boat growing up with a merc 65 on it. It pulled us teens on the slalom ski no problem. [/QUOTE]
