    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Just an update, I seem so close to getting it painted, but yet so far. I'm trying to do everything I can now so I don't have to later after it's painted. It's the little mundane things that seem to be taking forever, then throw in a weekend...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Originally, the kicker was just on a fixed homemade piece of wood that raised it up 5" above the transom. I do believe I have enough room to just hang the kicker right on the transom next to the main motor. I'll have to raise and lower it...

    Switch, VSR, Isolator, or Combiner for Outboard Boat

    Hi, I have an outboard that only puts out 6 amps charging. Do you guys recommend the Blue Sea "Add a battery" or should I go with the basic 4 position switch? Can I do much charging with a 6 amp output? I don't fish, so the only accessories will be a basic stereo, small color GPS, lights, bilge...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration It's was one year yesterday that I rendered my boat unuseable. I'm glad one year later I'm headed back in the right direction.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Thanks for checking my progress out guys. I have been working on building a rear bench seat that will house 2 batteries, battery switch, & fuel filter/water seperator. Since my splashwell is so wide it would be a royal pain in the arse to...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I don't think so, there was plenty of 5200 on them and my boat will not see salt water.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration The splashwell drains installed: Like I said, if you go with the aluminum ones...BUY THE MOELLER TOOL. It's like a 2 minute job. Also, I was at my local True Value the other day. I was planning on replacing those little nails that hold...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Question: I'm preparing to install my splashwell and seal up all the transom thru bolts. I bought all new SS Phillips head bolts and was planning to put 5200 on them. Just now I took a look at the original bolts and was surprised to see they...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Tonight I cut out new panels for the front of the consols. This is what I had to go by. These were rotted out really bad. I left some of the vinyl attached in order to use it as a rough guide to get the shape close. Finished. View from the...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Um...kinda sorta...This is how my side panels are made, the wood doesn't go all the way down to the deck. The aluminum angle sits on the deck and goes up and overlaps the wood by a good 4" where it's screwed to the wood. The carpet starts mid...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I layed sheet foam down up in the front keel area. The foam that is between the outer two stringers is poured right on the hull. Trying to fit foam boarf in perfectly turned out to be very time consuming and if it wasn't perfect, when the foam...
