This 1968 Pride Starfire SS1500 had been for sale locally for some time. I passed it during the course of doing my job as a truck driver many times a week. I've always liked the look of these old hulls, and thought she would make a great project for next Summer.
The engine fired immediately with choke-only ran it for a couple of seconds though as it didn't have water connected. Hull has four ss rod holders fitted by original owner. Windscreen isn't original from what I can gather, but addition of alloy rail surrounding it will make a handy grab rail when conditions are less than perfect!
