1956 woody boat
PO says its a 56 starcraft. I haven't seen any wooden 56 starcrafts...
It has a 59 merc 30 horse on the back. This is my wifes best friends grandfathers boat, he purchased the boat in the early 60s. Her father learned to ski behind this boat and repainted it around 1970 before leaving for college. The boat went mostly ignored since then sitting in a machinery shed for 40+ years, trailer registration expired in 73... This is how it looked a couple of months ago when I first saw it in the shed.
