Well Chris

I'm told that the owner who put in this engine was also a drag racer (cars), so apparently speed and power was what he was interested in.  My brother also discovered a friend of his who also drag raced and boated with him.  He is 92 years old now.

Patti that was a Sweet Find! I picked up a 1962? correct craft starflite about a month ago. I wish it was as in as good of condition as your boat appears to be. I found this site also after my purchase and it's a great source. I made a donation to help keep these kinds of sites going. Also, if you aren't already a member i would suggest joining the Antique & Classic Boat Society (ACBS) in your area. That is another way to connect with people that have the same passion restoring and maintaining classic boats such as yours. Was the boat advertised for sale or your nephew just stumble across it? If you took it to an ACBS boat show "as is" it would draw a crowd. People love barn finds whether it be cars or boats. Good Luck with your new project.

Yes, the seller does have the contact info for the original owner's son, and we will definitely try to arrange a meeting to talk to him.  It will be interesting to find out the details of this boat - as you said.  How it was stored?  Was it used in tournaments, etc?  This is how the boat was stored when my nephew found it, but I don't believe it was stored like this for all those decades!

Patti, in the last photo there appears to be a rectangular something below the rear seat cushion on the face of the rear seat frame. Curious as to what that is...?

This is unbelievable, the interior looks completely intact and not a rip in it! Incredible.

This boat was likely "one of a kind" when it was new, but almost certainly is today.

Wow, an intact and original dash. Interesting the small diameter of the upper portion of the pylon.

This is SO cool Patti. Have you guys discovered the serial number tag yet? That will help Art out. I think folks say those tags are generally on the port stringer, just aft of aft engine mount, or in that general area....
