need help to identify who built this boat
Hi i joined this forum because i have been looking for ages to find out who built my boat.

it is registered as a starcraft,i have been in contact with starcraft and they say it is not one of there's.

so if any one has any idea's it would be great.

Oh and don't take into account the ugly sticky uppy thing (cabin) that was put on by the previous owner,
but it does keep you dry.

i will add some more detail although i don't think it will help much.

length / 6.25 mtr
power / 140 horsepower inboard mercruiser..

not much more i can add,except i have been trying for about 12 months to work out the real manufacturer of this boat.
not that it is real important it is rego'ed as a starcraft and is insured as a starcraft,but it aint a stacraft..

If it goes like 5h1t of a shovel Kay9 maybe it motored there (few fuel stops on the way - closely followed by a large tanker?)
