Found 1983 Starbuck 455 jet boat..OK???
« on: October 01, 2007, 11:33:29 AM »
It's a 18' with a Berkely.  Are they good boats? Better than my 1973 Kona? Pluses and minuses?
I can get into this one for $750 in good shape xcept for a bad motor.
Thanx

If illegal aliens are undocumented migrant workers.....then Drug dealers are unlicensed pharmacys

If ya can't fix it with a hammer....It's an electrical problem!

Top paint is a little scruffy. Wasn't sure about overall build and hull design.
I'll try to post a pic of it.

that starbuck is yet another splash of a tahiti, if it's an 18, if it's the 16 it could be a splash of a tahiti but all those 16's with the wrap around windshields came from sidewinder first... who used a 16 tahiti bottom to tool up that deck.  ;)

Never heard of a starbuck, but like any boat check to see that it was hand laminated and then check the straightness of the bottom . If it's a chopper gun boat, pass. If it's bottom has a ton of hook, pass. There's a neverending supply of boats out there to choose form and we're entering the time of the year to buy, so be picky.
