    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration That'd be great. I will only have to get up an hour earlier. I'll leave the heat on tonight too...... Part of me likes re-inventing the wheel, and the other part is saying "It's crunch time". As far as the dash, I think i'll keep the teak...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Maybe that trim doesn't look to bad. It's teak so it would probably clean up and look OK. I think I will order that panel and either modify the panel or make a new one at work to fit in the space I have.

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I have been working on some not-so-exciting stuff and also trying to plan ahead to avoid hold ups. One thing that has me stumped is what to do with my drivers console..specifically the dash. I want to upgrade the switch panel to one of these...

    Aluminum Corrosion (How to keep from getting worse?)

    In a few weeks I will be putting new sheet foam in and putting the new deck down. My stringers and inside hull have some light oxidation/corrosion from the pour in foam that the boat had. I have powerwashed everything with hot soapy water but there is still a lot of thin white powdery...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Yes it SHOULD, my gunwall replacements kind of pushed that back. It's now crunch time.....

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration The inside of my hull has some light oxidation/corrosion on it (the white chalky stuff). Before I put the floor back down permanetly, do I need to neutralize this or clean it in some way? I have already powerwashed and cleaned with soap and...

    Re-Wiring a 22' Starcraft

    I want to start rounding up materials that I will need for re-wiring my Starcraft. I have a good understanding of DC circuits and have browsed through the diagrams on I-Boats. I have not wired a boat before, but I want to do it correctly so it's reliable. Some general info: The boat will have...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Worked on the transom some tonight. I got most of the holes drilled on the starboard half and redid the transom/stringer/splashwell bracing. I ended up taking the original brace out, adding another piece for more strength and re-riveting it all...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I got the gunwalls and bow cover fully installed today. Everything lined up great. That red on the cross piece will be carried throughout the inside and outside of the boat.

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I read some of the instructions, maybe that's part of the problem. There is a bag of some extra parts with it. The birdhouse is waiting until I mix up my next batch of epoxy, then my daughter gets to paint it. I think we'll put it on a post...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Nope, the hand jobber worked great. I may give the HF one another try tomorrow. It didn't help it's own cause when it spewed oil out the first 10 cycles or so, but then I remembered someone said that it would do that. It might just need some...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Well some exciting progress this weekend. Not quite as much as I hoped, for a 3 day weekend, but I spent most of Friday sleeping cause I must have caught some bug. Got a new piece of vinyl on my new bow cross support: Got all the other...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I also picked up my inner gunwall channels from the welder. He told me 2 hours @ 55/hour to do them, but when I picked them up it was only $60. There was about 20 small holes in each of them. They turned out great. This week I hope to...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I got a lot done over this long weekend. I put together my back to back seats with all that wood I cut up. My daughter spent most of Friday afternoon in the garage with me making seat bases. She did a good job with the glue. Even better...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration What's a transom brace? Seems to me the force of my motor is pushing pretty straight in against 4 stringers? Wouldn't that be spreading the force out pretty well? I only had a couple small cracks from 30 years of use. I hardly think my...
