    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Got a couple things done tonight. I epoxied a 1/2" thick ring of ply under the ski locker opening to stiffen things up and give the locker ring something substantial to mount to. The starboard side foam is all done. A couple more pours on...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration The deck is all riveted in. I put rivets every 6" which ended up being around 200 rivets, and once again squeezed them all by hand. My Stanley hand riveter is holding up well. Also got the bow seating panels cut out.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Well, turns out the consoles are supposed to be that way. I guess that's good cause now I don't need try and "fix" them. Yorkboater was nice enough to send me some pics and measurements, and his are the same and his windshield closes properly.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration My dad used to deliver Starcrafts to the dealers in the 60's and has said they would complain to the factory alot about the fit and finish. Problem was the dealers could sell everyone they got their hands on, and would fight over them.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I agree, just hard to believe that it's off as much as it is. The consoles are riveted to the side of the gunnel, and I temporatily stuck some rivets in, so it is where it was.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Do you have a close-up pic of your dash? How much higher is your console compared to the top of the gunnel or the trim? In order to level mine, I bet it would be 1 1/2 inches.... After pondering your statement, It makes me wonder if it should...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Home from a week of vacation at Lake Leelanau.... Tonight I decided to do a quick mock-up of my consoles just for the heck of it, and I'm kind of scratching my head. Notice anything? The consoles are wicked out of level. They weren't...

    Hi, this in in regards to my father-in-laws boat which I get to use while restoring my SC. He purchased the boat this spring, his first boat ever and I have only had outboards.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Thought I'd share a few pics I took of a couple other boats that have the same exact hull as mine. These are both custom jobs that I believe started out as SuperSports. The first on I saw in Ludington about 4 weeks ago. I talked to the guy who...

    Official Starcraft Rubrail Thread

    I've been meaning to do this for a while and with so many newbies this may help out. The search for this was very frustrating but ended well. The original profile was produced by Barbour Plastics. It is no longer a current profile so to get the original you would have to order 1000 ft...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration It's been way too stinkin' hot to get much done on the boat, but I almost have my 9.9 kicker converted to a shortshaft. Installed a new waterpump last night and just have to re-install the lower unit. Good thing because I got a deal on...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Tank mostly in: A few odds and ends then the next section of deck can go in. It's going to be perfect weather this week for pouring foam. They're saying mid 90's most of the week.
