Andy Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Gonna look at a 2006 Starcraft Starfish in the next day or two. Not much on the web about them. Any help? Thx in advance, Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I have a starcraft. Its a 16ft aluminum. Tough as nails. It takes a beating like you've never seen. I hunt and fish from it, from ice out until I have to break ice with it. I'll be keeping her forever. Sinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoriaRiverMan Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Got one here, When neighbour moved i bought it. Seems fine... new neighbour was at marina pricing boats as he wants one to and said there wasnt much difference in price between mine and a lund. Im sure someone here will have better input. Mines just a river runner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Mine is built by Brunswick. A lund the same year, is the same hull I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clampet Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I've been out in their 22' Islander and it was great! They used that boat for 25+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dondorfish Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I have a 22 foot Islander - and love it! It handled the big waves on Quinte, last November, like a trooper! Hope this helps Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoriaRiverMan Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 One comment the dealer made to my neighbour about my starcraft was the amount of rivits used..... LOTS I noticed a princecraft that was here a few weeks ago had only about half the amount and walls seemed paper thin. I picked up boat, motor(20hp evinrude), trailer, fish finder, life jackets, all saftey stuff and extra prop for 1500$ Boat and motor are a 1991 mint shape. Almost no marks on it.

bow slayer Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I have a 2001 starcraft starfire 160 side console. I love the boat seems to be quality made. I have been out in some friends boats one a princecraft the other a smokercraft and all of us prefer mine for a number of reasons. No complaints.

Kerry Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Mines a 72 16' bowrider. I've seen the same hull design as mine in ones as new as the early 90's.The only real difference is the interior layouts and extra goodies installed.Solid Solid boats.I also trailer mine exclusively and don't have leakage problems whatsoever.Can't ask for much more out of a 36 yr old hull.

lew Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I bought a new Starcraft tiller in '86 and another new one in '90 and they were both excellent boats and it's a make I would highly recommend to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike01 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I have an 2006 D-star, takes everything that Nipissing can dish out! The interior is kinda cheap though. Does 32mph with full gas and two people with a 50 merc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Your responses have been helpful. Everyone says that the boat's are solid and well built. I looked at a used one a couple months ago, and did think that the instrumentation didn't seem as fancy or polished as some other makes. I hope to check it out in the next day or two.
