Deep V Identification (Now With Pictures and Measurments)

[moberg12]

I think I found the Boat in The Project Forum... What do you guys think

All the starcrafts I've seen have had stars on the bow cap like the one you linked above.

Besides the rub rail being different your boat also has two support brackets per bench and the one linked only has one.

Ive Located my Exact boat on a different site, I am talking the exact Transom, Style, Lines and measurements.

It was surprising to me, not sure on the year but it matched up to the pictures to a Tee. its a Gutted out 1957 Starcraft Ski Champ..

As for the Bow cap I chalk it up to it being gutted out completely.
And the Bench seats where made and installed at some point but not original at all.

Id post the link to the other site but I don't wanna insult anyone considering it may be a competitive forum Site?!? I did not know if it was ok?

I think you're close and have the brand right, but year and model don't match up. I think I see oar locks in your boat and I doubt that someone would rip the top off of a ski champ, install bench seats and oar locks. That would be a bit extreme of a mod. There were several 1958 Starcraft models with similar looks and measurements to what your boat has.

True I think the ski version was just one of a few designs.

All the mounting brackets line up as well as the holes in the hull where existing seating and brackets had been. But I am close enough even if its not.... I pulled the bump rail off as well and all the holes are there where the wood once was as well as the bracket where the throttle assembly bolted to.

Truthfully the pictures of the Transom is what sold me, Atleast I know it can take up too a 40 Horse.

We KNOW its a STARCRAFT and my tinney MEASURES 13' 7".....Check this out

The only starcraft boats that measure 13' 7" are... The Ski Champ, Bonanza, and Seafarer. The Seafarer is the logical choice because of its open Hull yet the lines running the length of the boat do not match up because the sides of my boat are smooth!

That's because you're looking at the 61/62 version. Look at the 1958 version of the Seafarer that is the first pic that shows up in the link I posted earlier. All of their hull designs seem to have undergone the transformation to multi line hulls around 1960. Here is the best link for brochures on those models I've found. Maybe this will help you with your research if your still trying to nail it down. https://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=349830
