Whether you’re looking for a serious fishing boat, a sporty runabout, or a luxury pontoon, you’ll find it right here – in a Starcraft boat that’s versatile, affordable, stylish, and safety-minded. Starcraft Marine began manufacturing over 100 years ago and has the experience to bring you the best boats in the industry. No matter where the waves take you, we’ll give you a hand. A commitment made from our family to yours. Pride in our boats and pride in backing them up. There’s a sense of pride at Starcraft that you won’t find anywhere else. Four generations of the Schrock family have helped lead the industry in quality and innovation - and most importantly, value. During the 1960s, Harold Schrock helped pioneer the manufacture of fiberglass watercraft, beginning a long history of continuous improvements to fiberglass hull design and a dedication to providing exciting runabouts and deckboats for families and watersport enthusiasts. Today’s Starcraft is a company run by the same family that started it all back in 1903, with durable galvanized steel rowboats. Because from “catching the big one,” to “taking one more loop around,” boating isn’t just about finding fun – it’s about sharing it with your favorite people. Whether you’re looking for performance, style or space for the whole family, Starcraft is dedicated to becoming part of your favorite memories. For over a century, while other companies have come and gone, our family’s boating heritage has remained strong. At Starcraft, we believe your best life is found on the water, and we build boats that help you get the most out of it. And a day on the water is always time well spent. We changed the railing by "edge-nailing" a 2x8 to the top of the oceanside of the existing railing & that "pleased" the county (at least for now.   A HERITAGE YOU CAN TRUST, NO MATTER WHERE THE WAVES TAKE YOU When my brother asked the county (in writing) exactly what specifications we had to meet to please the county, we were told by the county office (by telephone - they still, a year later, haven't sent us a letter.) that AFTER we built the new railing that they would THEN decide if it "meets enhanced safety requirements". when we asked him WHY, he said, "because i said so. (in one case, the county "safety inspector", who works for the County Arson Investigation Unit, came out to the beach-house & told us that we had to change the sort of safety railing on the oceanside of the exterior deck. Trust me, some of the laws/directives/ordinances reference our beach place in Oak Island, NC are truly ODD! - we are talking "MAJOR STRANGE". sometimes it seems like "government by whim", rather than by law. = i wouldn't be surprised to find out that NC "DMV bureaucrats" told Starcraft to use a "different & unique" system for the boats sold there, at some time or other. Hope this helps! Now, lets see them danged picturesįwiw, NC has had some REALLY peculiar laws on boat titling/registration over the last 4 decades.- "quaint & odd" is the operant expression. The rest is just guess work and the folks at starcraft will tell you there is no Master list because the numbers don't really mean anything. If you make some measurements and post them along with a couple good shots of the boat making sure you show a good shot of the stern, we can figure it out for you. Here's how to identify your boat's Hull Identification Number (HIN), or 'boat serial number' / 'boat ID number'. The 12th is the letter designating the month of manufacture. The 10th and 11th are the last two digits of the model year. Some of the hull id numbers from the 70's exhibit that trait also, but you can't go by hull id or serial number alone. Example: ABC12345M72D (November 1972) The 9th character M stands for model year. Sometimes there is a number in the boat serial number (60's and first half of the 70's) that will coincide with the year the boat was manufactured. In the 60's, a particular model came in one color only and it changed each year. Also in some models, windshields come into play. If we can get our hands on the sales brochures (and between a couple of us we have most of the 60's and some of the 70's) we look at hull type (deep v, semi v, etc), length, transome height, width, and beleive it or not, factory paint color. So far the only way we have been able to acruately do that is by looking at several factors. Basically due to having no lifeĪctually, we just like the old boats and have been trying to figure out the best way to date and assign a model name to the boats. There are several of us here who live and breathe the whole Starcraft History thing.
