Re: Illusive Starflite Medallion

[Indian Group Leader]

Thanks for trying guys.

By the way, I have already searched the web before and found none. I have found more Indian Silver Arrows than 1958 Starflite hoods on the web. I have had at least 5 people try to give me Starflites over the years, but they were all junk with all medallions missing and/or cracked.

The toy outboard is absolutely no help since it is not a real motor and is only 6" tall. None of the medallions on the toys are made of the plastic material like the original outboards had. They are only decals. For the record, I own one of the toy outboards too. The good news is that they do not suck the sides in on gas tanks like my original.

Mumbles, your lead only costs $1,000 and the side medallions are almost totally white with no red showing. I am guessing that if there is a medallion on the front pull rope door, it would be a piece of worn cracked plastic. I wish that guy luck in selling his junk Starflite. If he is lucky, I think a scrapyard may give him $50 for the scrap aluminum, and that may be a stretch.

Again, thanks to everyone for the input. I was hoping that someone would surprise me with a 100% like new original outboard on their boat so I could get a photo of the front medallion. If you are going to dream, you should always dream big. Thanks anyway.
