    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Got the vinyl all trimmed up tonight. Need to find my knee pads...a lot of crawling around has taken its toll on my knees.

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Didn't get as far as I wanted yesterday. While cutting the vinyl, my utility knife slipped and, of course, went right into my middle finger on the other hand. So, I have a nice divot missing off the tip. I did manage NOT to get any blood on...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I know...it still looks the same... ...but it's now smooth and clean. I pulled it out into the driveway and took my leaf blower to it to get rid of all the dust. Then the sides and deck got an acetone wipe down. Didn't have time to unroll...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Yep, I always thought your interior looked sharp with the vinyl/carpet combo and aluminum trim... Tonight I am planning on a final sanding of the deck, a good cleaning, and maybe even cut some vinyl!

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Thinking out loud here....I'm going through in my head how to get the vinyl down on the deck and the carpet on the hull sides. The vinyl I have for the floor is Alpha Pontoon Vinyl, it's 1/8" thick. I was originally thinking I would cut it a...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration For seaming the last two pieces of the deck. I found it. I reorganized my garage a while back so it took a while to go through boxes. Funny, cause I kept going to the tote it used to be in.... I mixed up too much epoxy...my pot is smoking...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Tonight I lifted the motor back off to give me better access for the vinyl/carpet job coming up and to reassemble the cowls and stuff... Pulled her out for some fresh air (and to sweep the garage) Here is a shot of an almost glue-less...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Thanks, hopefully the interior will match the quality of the paint. Spent today doing a lot of sanding on the inner hull (carpet glue/paint overspray removal). If the amount of sanding it takes to remove overspray is any indication of the...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration The bottom from the chine down has a single part industrial enamel on it. The sides and top have a two part base/clear. I had it done at an auto/custom restoration shop.
