    24' Starcraft Aluminum Boat Too Good To Scrap???

    TOO GOOD TO SCRAP ???

    Just picked up a 1973/74? Starcraft Chieftain 24 foot aluminum boat on a tandem trailer.
    Name plate reads: Model 24 CH 4X I/O Capacity: 1950# max persons and 2500# max weight with gear.
    I bought it for scrap but having second thoughts, it's a good looking boat.
    I personally don't "do" boats, don't fish, don't go boating, don't really care for the water. So cutting it up for scrap really wouldn't hurt my feelings at all.
    I do however appreciate history and quality and giving every last working/useable part a chance to continue a useful life.
    I already have too much "stuff" with a warehouse overflowing with items waiting for new homes!



    Condition: last registered in 2012. Boat was parked because of engine issues, V-8 inboard, 188 hp., engine appears to be unbolted/ready to pull.
    Upper/lower unit and props are gone. Still has power trim pump and rams. Hull and floor appear to be solid. Trailer tires are dry rotted.

    Specs. I have found so far are:
    Weight is between 3395 and 3671#.
    Engine is possibly a 302 Ford.
    Year is 1973 or 1974.
