    16' Starcraft winter project **finished Pics page5**

    Well I picked up a 16' Starcraft today that came with a 33hp Johnson and a trailer built like it was meant for battle in WWII today for $400.

    Fiberglass winter mod

    She was found on the side of the road a few years back for 175 bucks with a trailer. She was redone once before hence the gray paint on the interior and the brown hull but with no modifications. I wish I had a picture from when she was pulled from her early grave. Up until a month ago she was...
