    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Test fitting the windshield tonight. I was pleasantly surprised how well it lines up. It really changes the look since for 1 1/2 years I've been looking at it without it.

    2003 Mercury 9.9 2-stroke Sneezing

    I recently purchased a 14' StarCraft Aluminum deep-V with a 2003 Mercury 9.9 2-stroke on it. I've had it out twice so far and runs good overall. It starts fine, idles fine, and runs wide open just fine, but if i'm running half throttle and then reduce throttle a little bit, it will "sneeze"...

    I got another Starcraft, SF 14 LW

    Well, I was casually looking and happened to come upon a CL ad last night just after it was posted. I called and it seemed to good to be true. I went after work to check it out today and took it home. The ad didn't show the inside, just the outside and the motor, and not knowing much about...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration EZ made a comment a while ago about making sure the windshield fits right before painting and reassembling everything. So, my plan is to start at the front of the boat and test fit everything. Should save me time reassembling after paint and...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I want to epoxy my side panels together this weekend. They are 12' long, so I had to make them out of two pieces. I was planning on scabbing them together with a scrap piece of 1/2" marine ply screwed and epoxied on the back side. Just...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration The rearward mount is what the screw pulled through. After looking at the port side, the tube is tweaked. It has an "s" shape to it. I'll have to check out my options to replace i think. My gunnel tops are all new metal so I don't have to...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I like the shape, just would like them to look newer. Same deal with the aluminum rubrail, I'm afraid if I sand/polish the anodizing off i'll be polishing a lot. I was going to have the rubrail channels painted the boat color like the new ones...

    Anodizing or Protecting Raw Aluminum

    On my Starcraft restore, I have machined a few parts from 6061 aluminum bar stock. Most are for the rear bench seat, which I am making the back removeable, kind of like a walk thru transom. I am wondering if anodizing is an option, and if anyone has ever had parts anodized. The obvious choice...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Alright, I'm working on the boat. I was going to mark and drill for the bow rails tonight but after looking at them they look kind of old. Anyone ever make their own? Stainless or Aluminum? These originals are aluminum.
