I can't recall exactly what broke on them, it's been quite a while but they were of the same vintage of what you're looking at.
As far as for the price, remember this. No matter how nice the boat looks, it's a 78 with old (questionable) technology. It might be worth a bit more than book but it would have to almost be a collectible to be worth $6k and Starcrafts are not collectibles. A lot of people think "their" boats are worth so much more than others but they're mistaken. If you bought this boat, you might have an extremely difficult time selling it again and then you'd be taking a bath on both ends (buying&selling)
There are lots of boats for sale; do some footwork and keep looking. Walk away from this Starcraft.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
