    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I think I will schedule it to be done next week. I will decide what blast media after talking to him some more. I have knocked out most of the rivets that I want to replace and have everything to do it. Hopefully I can get that done this...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration That's exactly my feelings as well. The $250 wouldn't bug me too much, but $450....that's some coin! Although like I said for me paying someone to paint it, it should save some money there......but the last thing I want is a warped hull or a...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration After reading all the bad stuff about chemical stripping and the amount of work that might be, I called around to see about having my boat soda blasted. I got a quote of $400-$450 to have the entire hull blasted with soda. The guy mentioned he...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I've been doing a lot of reading this afternoon on aluminum prep. What got me going was I have come across many posts by "Yacht Dr." in regards to painting aluminum boats to do as follows: -Strip -Alumiprep -Rinse -Alodine -Rinse -Two Part...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Alright, paint and prep. In the interest of "doing it right the first time" I want to make sure it's prepped right. I have an auto painter lined up to do the spraying but want to make sure the prep is right cause this is not a car, it's a boat...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Got my transom epoxied together tonight. It took just under 1 quart of resin and hardener and some Cabosil to coat the two inside faces. Maybe tomorrow I will coat the outside. My stringer angle where it meets the transom has a crack...

    Starcraft Aluminum Boat Rub Rail Insert

    As many of you know I am in search for a rub rail insert for my '79 SC. Taco Marine (one of the big rub rail makers) does not produce a replacement for the older boats. Wefco Rubber Company has a couple that are close, but doesn't send samples, and their minimum order is 25 feet. I also came...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I didn't get around to pulling the trailer out yet, but have started thinking about the actual process of epoxying my transom together. I mentioned I was going to drill the holes oversize, fill with epoxy, and then redrill. Does this make...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Today I got my transom holes marked and pulled the transom back out. I was about to pull the trailer out from under the boat to start work on rivet fixing, but thought I'd better take advantage of a warm afternoon to give the inside one more...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration The measurements are the same except it wont stick out of the aluminum channel quit as much, but still plenty far to do it's job I think. I am going to see if they can send me a sample or see what the minimum order is. They get $2 per foot...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration You are correct. I took off the angled piece that the deck rests on along the sides to dig out the foam from that area.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Yeah, I had read that as well. I think EZ told me NB and someone else found something that will work in my channel, but no one has piped up which one it was. Maybe I need to look closer again....

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I thought you were the one that told me my rubrail insert was not availiable anymore anywhere, and that you got one from someone on here who had an extra laying around? If there is something that will fit my aluminum channel that would be...
