Information on a 1984 Starcraft ST Boat

The Starcraft ST was one of over a dozen boat models produced by Starcraft during 1984. Categorized as a runabout, the boat was well equipped for maneuverability, seated four to eight people, and was suitable for fishing and water skiing.

Dimensions

The 1984 Starcraft ST boat was just over 15 feet long and 76 inches at its widest point. It weighed approximately 745 pounds with an empty fuel tank and while carrying no gear or passengers.

Hull

The boat had a fiberglass hull for durability, resisting wear and tear, such as rot, rust and barnacle build up, that is inherent among hulls made of wood or metal bases. Fiberglass also effectively combated harmful conditions common to storing boats in water, particularly saltwater. Nonetheless, according to Iboats.com, the boat should be kept dry and covered to best preserve long-term resale value.

Motors and Modifications

The original boat had an outboard motor with a maximum 100 horsepower. If considering purchasing a 1984 Starcraft ST, it should be noted that the boat may have been modified significantly from its original condition, altering the engine specifications and horsepower. Check with your insurance company to make sure they will cover the boat and always consult with professionals to clarify safety issues.
