    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Got my rivet gun, set, and rivets yesterday. Got the gun working but haven't had a chance to actually try it out on some practice stuff yet. I did get the boat back yesterday from having 10 holes welded up in the transom. They came out pretty...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Dropped the boat off tonight to get some holes welded up in the transom. Should have it back in a day or two. My gluvit arrived and my epoxy should be here by early next week. I think I have figured out what rivets, sets, and gun to get, just...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration This may seem silly, but, how should it be "stored"? Laying down in a pile or standing on edge? Does it matter? RIVET INFO ANYONE? (and don't tell me to just put screws in it, I want rivets) LOL

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Hey guys I need some help..... I have been looking for a good how to or a video on replacing rivets. I have read doing it incorrectly can cause your rivet to work-harden and be brittle. I know a correct gun is needed and a bucking bar. Which...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Well as I wait for plywood, Gluvit, and Epoxy to arrive, I went at the inside of the hull some more with a wire wheel on my drill. Went at it for a few hours but it was hard to get in everywhere so I just did the best I could. Being it was so...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Did some checking around and prices on marine grade plywood are all over the place so I called around again and started asking specifics. My local high quality lumber yard had 3/4" fir AB for $90, I assume that this would be the good stuff...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Got a lot done today. Splashwell and transom out!!! If you look closely at the stamp on the transom it says in one spot "plugged" and further down "exterior". Six rivets sheared off at the bottom of this cross brace, none were missing...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration When I talked to the painter earlier in the week on the phone, off my description I gave him of my boat he said a very rough estimate would be 5-8 hundred bucks. That seemed a little to good to be true so I said I would bring it by so he could...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Took the boat to a painter tonight to see about having it painted. This is a welding/fabrication/hot-rod shop not to far from me. They came recomended by a few guys I work with, and a couple of cars & trucks they had there were beautiful. They...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration We're getting there. Still working on foam removal. Getting down to the nitty gritty tedious part. The foam sticks to all the seams and rivets, so I'm being thourough so the gluvit doesn't get impeded by foam. I got the drill out with a 4"...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Got the engine off the boat and on to my stand tonight. That was a job and a half. I borrowed a cherry picker from my brother but failed to think about how the picker was going to work with the stand I built. Not good. Seems the legs on the...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration How would you guys roll this thing over? I don't have a tractor with a bucket like others here :-). We do have large bridge cranes where I work, but the floors are all cement. We have a rollover bridge crane that has two hooks. Would the bow...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Got a few questions about what order I should proceed in. After I get the engine off and the inside all cleaned of foam and carpet glue, should I go ahead now and take the transom and splashwell out or should that stay put to roll it over. (If i...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Didn't do any actual work on the boat this weekend, but I did get and engine stand built. I used the plans posted on Iboats as a guide. I was expecting something a little more complicated for a pick-up on the gas tank but when I took the...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I hope the hard work is behind me. I got almost all of the foam out, just need to go around the edges and get in the tight spots with a putty knife. She's definetly leaking some at some of the rivets/seams toward the front. The bottom 1" or so...
