Hey, hope I'm not posting this to the wrong forum. I have a fiberglass hull Starcraft and am trying to figure out what it is. Can't find a hull number, but there is a plate near the steering wheel on the starboard side. All of the paint is missing, but the number 1016416 is stamped on it. Is this a serial number? The owner thought it was a 70 or 73, but really didn't know much about it. I can post more pictures tomorrow when I get to a faster computer. It has a 1963 Evinrude Speeditwin outboard installed. Any help would be great, my FIRST PROJECT BOAT!

Your stern caps look identical to mine even though my boat is vastly different. Mine is a 1968 Daytona TR-17. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

I concur - the boat looks much more 1960s style than 1970s. Starcraft had gone to the Waltman B. Walters designed V-hull on their glass boats by about 1969-1970.

Speaking of stern caps - I have one, port side cap that looks a lot like the one on the blue Starcraft above. Anyone need it?
