Classic Beauty needs an identity! 11 years 9 months ago #63904
|
Hi folks! I just learned of this forum and I am hoping the wisdom here can help me out. This boat was advertised as a Starcraft, but it was clear to me that it isn't that. I bought it and am about to dig in an restore it but I can't seem to identify just what it is. There are no identifying marks whatever on it. It is welded aluminum for the most part, very few rivets. Can anyone take a shot at identifying this make?

Maybe a early sixties StarCraft Jupiter.
More pics would help. |

For some reason only one of the pics I uploaded showed up in the post. The folks over at the Star Craft forum seem convinced it's not one. Apparently Star Craft uses rivets. Some thought Crestliner but I couldn't find a match in the library here.

I believe I have identified my boat as a late 60s early 70s Crestliner Sea Scout.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.“ ---Mark Twain |

It certainly shares many of the same features including the aluminum bow strip. Funny thing though - no matter how many times I measure my boat it comes out to 15 feet, not 14 . . .
