    1980 Johnson 85hp Primer Solenide and Stator Questions

    Alright guys, just want to run this all past the experts here it was just easier to put this all in one thread as well. So back in July, when I was up north, I could not start the boat while cold. At first I thought it was the battery, then I charged it and it still would turn over but not...

    Where do you get your lower unit oil?

    I need to change my lower unit oil so I went out looking. I had an idea of what I needed thanks to a couple members here. Pretty much wanted an 80w-90 quart of oil with marine on it... I was able to get my pump so that is a plus. Now the fun. I drove around stoped at Advanced Auto Parts...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Great job with the teak, and everything else so far! Can not wait to see how your paintjob turns out! It won't be a bottom feeder one like so many of us around here, so that sure is a change :D.

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Here is the transom brace in my boat. It is in line with the keel. I'm sure this is not the same way that it is setup in the V5 hull, but something like this is very important imo. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk164/cppics-webs/HPIM2282.jpg

    Paint Opinions

    Since I will be painting my Starcraft, along with many others, in the future I thought it might be a good time to get opinions on what paint/primers others have used or are using and how they are applying it. If you have already painted your Starcraft post what your thoughts on how the paint...
