It very well could have been a Bahama The interior of the boat (dash) and the length is how I tell. The second one posted looks like it might be aluminum.
Thanks,
Pete

Thanks CC did you tell the owner about the FiberGlassics web site? If so I sure hope he logs in. I would like to chat with him about his boat. I just seen very few of the StarCraft brand.
Thanks Again!

That's quite odd, I can see them.

Maybe post something in the help section or check your computer settings?

Re:back from silver lake with alot of pics 14 years 6 months ago #8645

Hey C'

frank came by an interesting question, what is "keel Depth"?

next time you have your CC in the water would you be so kind to jump over board and mark off the water line, and take a Stanly tape measure to it....

hey..it was your stats from the boat house reports that managed to get on the back of all the Navicard Samples...(hehehehe) :laugh:

I think, what it is, is a straight line from the bow deck to the bottom of the keel, yours says 29 inches, giving I rode in yours and I have seen it I am sure it doesn't draft 29 inches of water...

Added:

ok got thinking about this and I tell yea, if C's boat was 29 inches deep into the water, it would be a submerine...so I had to do some ruff quick homework:

keel depth is a straight line down midships from the seam of the top deck to the bottom of the keel.
