We have a 76 starcraft boat forsale. It has a Mercury 50hp outboard motor and shoreLand'r trailer for 700. Motor runs strong and boat is in Ok condition. Boat needs new steering cable tho. Good for fishing, skiing and tubing.

oh my bad. I'm in Indiana. Around the driver and the front area the floor is still good, but back by the motor the floor moves a little. The trailer is in really good shape. Haven't use the boat in a year.

Damn...too far away for me. I live in the boat capital of the USA...South Florida. Some good deals here but what you have is exactly what I am looking for. I had a starcraft and loved it. I think they came with Mopar engine and wheel parts and believe me, 50HP is a good size...mine had 45. I had a super large yacht once in partnership with 3 other guys. (motoryacht It was a huge floating trashcan. My Starcrafts floor rotted away. I tossed it...and with a friends help....sunk it./|\:D

We towed it out to the pass with the plug pulled and their was some huge swells, one of them came over the bow and it went down.

Jspec, those boats are decent...the floors rot out although a few hundred and carpet and you are in business. Good solid little boats. I think the stearn is rated at 85HP...you could go to 100 without breaking it but it is just a good cruiser. If you have more than 4 people on board, it gets flat easy with less than 50 HP and to plane it right...50 with 2 people is fine..again, mine seated 6 and with 45HP and 6 folks..it would barely plane at 29 knots. I think top speed is around 45 to 50..and the tri-hull is no good above 60MPh...just a good cruiser and will tow a ski.

Not a shabby old school boat IMHO.
