nice boat. Make? Is there a floor in it? Maybe get rid of at least one of those seats. I canned my middle one in my 14' and made moving around so much easier. Nice find and good luck with it.

It's a Starcraft 16.It's got a halfassed attempt at a floor,and the seats are pretty fugly.I think I'll rip them all out,and replace them.The boxes under the seats are steel(why?)they are rusted to hell.I think I'll replace them with wooden boxes for storage,and use the pink styrofoan foundation insulation under the new floor for floatation.As suggested,the middle seat is probably a goner.I'm thinking of building a couple sideways(the long way)benches on the gunnels from the first to the third seats,which open for storage.
Suggestions?

I love that Mosquito fleet thread! Awesome pictures. I haven't been out on mine for a month and it sucks! My new jeep needs a hitch installed. Anybody wanna pick me up and take my skiff out?!
