I grew up on an island in the Gulf of Mexico during a time when wood boats were giving way to fiberglass boats… As islanders, we never thought about aluminum boats as a viable option on the waters where we lived… fast forward 40-50 years - today I live about 10 miles inland, in an area saturated by every imaginable kind of water - freshwater rivers, springs, swamps, lakes, etc.  and salt water bays, inlets, marshes, and off shore…. I now have a 1974 12ft Starcraft that I take everywhere! And I mean everywhere - including 5+ miles off shore!  There is no other single boat that I could do that with! And even at 50 years old, the boat is rock solid and easily has decades of life left in it! Yes, I’m now convinced that these little tin boats are very special!</p></blockquote><p></p>
