    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Today was spent mainly cleaning the garage up as It was getting hard to find stuff and basically it was just a big mess. I did get the "floors" cut for my new ski locker and for where the gas tank sits. I went round and round on how to do the...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Tonight, second coat of epoxy to the deck pieces in the above pic. I also have a lead on some original rub rail, and possibly the newer version Starcraft is using, which should fit the older channels as well. Going to compare prices tomorrow...

    Starcraft Boats in action

    As spring is now here and many of us are still working on our boats, how about some pictures of Starcrafts in the water. I'm thinking this could be inspiration and motivation and a place for the guys who have finished boats to show them off. (in the water). You can post before resto pics, but...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Started working on my deck this weekend. It was nice to work in the driveway Saturday. I was able to use my old deck as templates, but I am going to run the pieces widthwise instead of lengthwise like it was. This will give me a deck with less...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Hi, and thanks for the compliments. My boat is going to be painted by a pro (auto restorer). They are going to use a 2 part epoxy primer which they said has great adhesion to aluminum and the bottom is going to get a top coat of industrial...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Yeah, EZ, I like that setup. Seems I would have just as much transom room as that boat does. We'll have to wait and see. Tonight I epoxied all my new back to back seat pieces. One more night of some touch ups and going around the edges again...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration GLG, you have me thinking maybe I'm jumping the gun here. The kicker came on the boat on the port side raised up 5" above the transom on a "home made" wood bracket that was not pretty and had some rot. My transom seems to be wider than most...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Got a few things done this past weekend. I have my seats all rounded off, sanded down, and apart so I can start epoxying them tonight. I also got some more Gluvit down on the hull. I am going to hang my kicker right on the transom instead of...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Quick update...not too much happening as I have this bugger of a cold that's been hanging around off and on for 3 weeks now. Finally went to the Dr. and he got me some antibiotics, but it's still sucking the motivation out of me. My Dad and I...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Yeah, kinda threw ya a curve ball huh? You don't know what to think....pour-in foam that's not going to be poured in and won't touch the hull. The next guy who restores this boat better thank me.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I don't know if we're talking about the same stuff (styrofoam) but everything I read said it was one of the best flotation materials. See this: http://www.epsmolders.org/3-float.html , but I guess it don't matter cause I'm not going to use it...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I made up my mind of foam. Going to use the 2-part pour in...... BUT... I'm not going to pour it into the boat. Instead I am going to make some simple forms and pour it in those so I have blocks. I had contacted a local foam company that...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration You guys seem to have forgotten...remember this is what I did for a month... I just haven't made up my mind on what to do. To me I haven't come up with something that is a cut and dry good way to go. There seems to be drawbacks to them all...
