Up for sale is a 1997 Starcraft Fish Master 160SC model that was fully restored to be as good as new!
Condition = Excellent
Length (LOA) = 16’
Deadrise = 16-degrees
Make / manufacturer = Starcraft
Model name/number = Fish Master 160SC
Power = Outboard, 1996 OMC 60hp with electric start and trim/tilt
Year manufactured = 1997 (All systems NEW since 2015)
This aluminum skiff has the raised bow portion with two large storage bins. One was a livewell that I converted to storage, but the hoses are in the hull to convert back to a livewell if desired. A trolling motor can be added to the flat panel on the bow. The cockpit has a marine vinyl-covered floor with side steering console and 2 seats, then the raised rear seat to the splashwell, when moving back towards the stern.
Unlike other boats in this size, this V-hull has 16-degrees of deadrise giving a smooth ride in choppy seas and when crossing boat wakes. It is beamy enough to be incredibly stable and the 60hp motor moves it right along! The capacity rating is for 6 people. The hull bottom was zinc-chromate primed, then coated in epoxy (Steel-Flex) on the rivets and painted with special, expen$ive bottom paint made for aluminum boats.
NEW in 2016 - New ceramic composite transom, never worry about wood in a boat again! The entire boat was gone through and every gauge, switch, LED cockpit light, automatic bilge pump, bilge & fuel hoses, engine controls, control cables, fuel lines and wiring were replaced with ALL NEW systems. On the dash there is a tachometer, trim-tilt and water pressure gauge. On top of the helm is a 2016 model color Humminbird fishfinder and Northstar GPS/plotter running C-Map charts. New Scotty-brand rod holders are installed too. A small safety boarding ladder is affixed to the stern too.
The boat is carried on a nice galvanized trailer that had new rims and new tires in 2017 and was serviced at Perley's Marina for the wheel bearings that year too. This trailer is only used TWICE per season – once in and once out, where it is stored up on blocks when not in use, to protect the axle & bearings; where the tires are also covered to protect against UV damage.
NEW in 2017 – New bimini top in bright blue Sunbrella color, new bow & stern navigation lights and new AM-FM stereo with speakers installed in a water-resistant housing.
NEW in 2018 - New livewell pump & wiring, new aluminum frame for the bimini top, new cushioned seats & seat bases and new no-feedback cable steering for the motor. Added a portable 22-gallon livewell. The original engine was upgraded from the original 40hp to the maximum hull-rated 60hp Johnson motor with power trim-tilt and electric start. It had a full waterpump, impeller and thermostat service in 2017 and is equipped with a Racor fuel-water separating filter. It wears a new 4-blade performance prop by Turning Point propellers.
Other Sellers advertise their boats as turn-key, but this one truly is. Everything is ready to go for you to go boating now, nothing needs to be fixed … just add water! Selling this as I bought another boat. Serious inquiries only! The NADA book price on this is $4,200, but buy it now - towards the end of this boating season, for a price break.
Asking $3,750 but ... will give a DEAL to a Tin Boater who buys it from this ad ...
