    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration That would be cool, but I'd get nothing done at work for two weeks... Don, he's going to consult his paint rep, but the bottom will prolly get an industrial enamel, and the rest a two part base/clear coat.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Well she's all packed up and ready to roll tomorrow afternoon. Hope I didn't forget to do something! I have this fear that I forgot to do something major.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Starboard rubrail and caps on. Also added all the wiring hangers under the starboard gunnel. I got a random orbital sander today and used it on the corner caps. Then took a coarse sanding sponge to them. Came out pretty good considering how...

    Trailer Rollers

    I have a 1979 single axle Calkins Roller trailer that's under my 22' Starcraft Super Sport (Aluminum hull). All the rollers are probably original. My boat is getting painted next week so I'm starting to think about the trailer now. I would like to replace all the rollers, but have a few...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Coat two done. That's going to be it. I used marine ply and doesn't seem to soak up a ton. It really looked pretty good after one. Yeah, these pics are getting boring, I know, kind of like Mags 5 million pics of self etch primer! LOL So...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Got half the deck rivets replaced with c'sunk ones. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Not doing the outer perimeter as those are behind the side panels. Oh, I'm going to go with carpet now I think. The wide vinyl is expensive and there's...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I didn't lie, the skeg is on the ground (just). What's hard to see is that it's hanging from a come-a-long that's chained to a beam in the attic. The motor is back on the stand now. I was going to mount it to the boat tonight but I didn't have...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration De-greasing the engine today, yanked the TNT unit to get in there better. PO liked grease, good thing, which made disassembly easy! Also pulled off the lower covers, going to need a few new gaskets/seals.

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration ...and with the ratchet on it. If you look close this isn't a standard ratchet configuration. I wanted my antanae to lay down flat so the only option was a rail mount. When I got it (I already had one of the tall dual pivot ones), the cam...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Got my antanae fab done. Turned out great, super beefy! This went up under the console. The shorter piece bolted into the gunnel channel. All bolted in. View from the top. It took a while to figure out how I was going to seal that...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Went back to work tonight for a few hours to play with some machines. Boring a perfect slip fit hole old school. This will be part of my antanae mount. It will make more sense tomorrow.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Sorry, I lied. Scheduled to drop off at the painter Monday Nov.5 now, so just past next week! Gives me 2 weekends to tie up a lot of loose ends and maybe get the motor mounted to get painted as well.
