1998 Starcraft 170 Superfisherman with 1998 Mercury 75hp 2-stroke (very fuel efficient) and Starcraft(escort) roller trailer. High Bimini top and full mooring cover. 3 Pedestal seats, depthfinder, VHF radio, berts tracks with berts rod holders. Have 2 pedestal mounts for downriggers for the tracks. Ram-x rod holders. This boat is near perfect showroom condition. Paint shines, carpet and interior like new. Floors solid. A 9.5 out of 10. It has very few scratches that come with a boat of this age. If you are looking for this type of rig, you will not be disappointed so bring a trailer plate and cash with you. Ready to mount riggers and fish now. Reason for sale is the purchase of another boat. Boat is out of storage and is located in Dunkirk, NY Price is $8500.00 or best offer.

back to the Crestliner-new coat of paint and new coat of paint on trailer-not best picture Starting the installation of new oak seating.

I believe that the first temp alarms appeared in the later 1970's so your motor does not have one.

Candidly there are not that many around, I would start looking at boats.com, boattrader.com etc. There is one on Walleye.com now but it is in Minnesota.

I owned a 1990 Sylvan Offshore for seven years. The 23 first came out in 1996 or 1997, it had the deeper V and was 8 1/2 feet wide. They were discontinued in 2002, although in 2003, there were still 3 bare hulls left at the plant. I don't think there are many I/O's around, and very few outboards. It would likely handle like the 22 Starcraft Islander bracket O/B and I know there are some of those around. With the motor out back, there is obviously a lot of room inside.

These are a couple "before" pictures. Others will be coming.

4/4 update, the ice pack has shrunk a lot. http://www.wkbw.com/news/local/Ice-on-L ... 24384.html

I am currently re-doing a 1956 15 Crestliner.

As of 4/2 no docks in, smaller boats launching at ramp next to Black North

The motor box takes up a lot of the space on the 19 so go for the 22. As time moves forward these other boats become older and older but there are also 22s in Lunds, Crestliners, Sylvans, Sea Nymphs and Princecrafts. They have just been discontinued over time by their manufacturers. I owned a 22 Sylvan for 7 years, it was very deep and could handle 3 or 4 guys fishing.

I have taken 3 of my older small outboards to Olson Brothers in Derby with reasonable cost of repairs.

At least another week for the ice boom to be removed according to reports yesterday-still estimating 500 sq miles of ice.

I have the 17 Starcraft Superfisherman-you need to pick your days on the big lake. I bought tracks for my riggers-2 Big Jon Electrics-also have the Minn Kota electric up front. It is a comfortable two person boat on good days-3 becomes a crowd. By the way have used it on Lake Erie the past two years-and we get the big waves.

Places to start looking are craigslist, boattrader.com, boats.com etc. This is the time to look and so far this spring there have been boats out there like that from Rochester west so you just need to keep looking and be prepared to buy when your boat comes up.

I would have a survey done on any boat that was in the 20 year old range. You need to be checking structure items such as the transom, stringers, and flooring as a start.

They are basically new, they have sat in a shed for years. One still has the specs paper tag on it, and one has a tire on it-consider that a bonus. Plain rims painted white. $30.00 for the pair Located in Dunkirk, NY could come to Hamburg NY to make arrangements for pick-up.

Good condition, perfect for spare $10.00 I am located in Dunkirk but could meet in the Hamburg NY area. Thanks

This boat was sold last year-for future reference.

price in Canada has gone up as well, price on the market last week was $102.00 per barrel in 2008 it was 145.00 when gas went to $4.25 per gallon. None of our politicians either Democrats or Republicans has addressed the issue since 1973. You could play the same clips from back then, saying we need to do something but have never done anything about it. On a personal note, you just start trying to combine trips so that you don't make one run to only one store which is what I did when it went over the $3.00 mark in 2005. And if you don't have a huge boat, you look for a more efficient vehicle the next time it comes to trade.
