    18' 1969 Offshore V restoration

    Re: 18' 1969 Offshore V restoration Just the rivets and seams. A quart JUST did my 18'. Start from the back and work your way front. I figured if I ran out, it would be higher up in the bow and now be below the waterline anyway.

    18' 1969 Offshore V restoration

    Re: 18' 1969 Offshore V restoration Correct. Don't fill it a ton, just over the chines should do it. That'll expose 85% of the rivets and seams to water.

    18' 1969 Offshore V restoration

    Re: 18' 1969 Offshore V restoration Nice hull. How are you planning to lay it out? Center console? or more like an SS?

    What outboard brands/years enjoy the best parts support?

    In order to better help members who are considering buying used boats/motors, I'd like to be better informed on my recommendations as far as outboards are concerned. From what I understand, OMC parts support is quite excellent for 1978 and newer motors, pretty decent for '73 and newer, spotty...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Nautolex's. I ran out of adhesive when I was like 95% done so to finish the job I substituted some Roberts 6700 outdoor carpet adhesive from Home Depot and it seemed to work fine as well. Super cheap to so that's something you might want to...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I put the flooring vinyl on the hull sides. http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w200/ezmobee/New%20Boat/DSCF2503.jpg (Side pockets) http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w200/ezmobee/New%20Boat/DSCF2534.jpg (In the bow) I've had no delamination...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Yeah that was a painful job and I'm still not happy with it. I think I'd have to complete remake my console panels to be 100% happy. For now, my weatherstripping hides the gap I ended up with. Yours is looking great.

    Very intermittent hiccup at speed ('81 Evinrude 90)

    Got a frustrating problem with my motor. It starts and runs beautifully and runs fine at speed most of the time. However I'm experiencing a very intermittent hiccup when cruising. While cruising at 80% throttle it will, just for a second, drop RPM. It did it twice on a short outing a month ago...

    Installed my kicker bracket

    Got my kicker bracket installed. Well actually it's currently just lag bolted but I'm going to pick up some stainless through-bolts over lunch today and replace them. The motor sticks out pretty far (wife thinks it's hideous) but I'm extremely pleased with both the up and the down position the...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Yep. I'm not a fan of mine either. jasoutside sent me some low-profile ones from one of his cut up glassers which I need to install. Gotta make my mind up to drill all those holes though (and deal with all the then extra ones).

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I'm not a fan of the shape. I think a nice curved set would look sharper than those kinda angled ones. Unfortunately rotted glassers are the best source for rails.

    My new kicker

    Just picked this up last night: It's an '85 Evinrude 15HP. I've had my eye out for a while and have missed a few deals. This one wasn't a particularly great deal at $600 but fair for the size. 9.9s and 15s are very desirable and get snatched up quickly especially in my area where there's a...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration My '12 Fusion puts a smile on my face every day as well! Despite the gas prices, I don't regret trading the 4 banger Honda on that at all. Thanks for the congrats. She's doing well. Eats like a horse which astounds us because our son never (and...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration About a year and a half ago I bought an '05 with the 4.7 with 79k on it. Got a good deal on it but it wasn't in the greatest of shape and had or developed a number of annoying issues that would be time consuming/costly to fix. We loved the grand...

    Canada real estate prices

    I got a question for you canucks. I watch a lot of HGTV which I believe is based in Canada and LOTS of the shows take place there. I want to know what cities these are that have these RIDICULOUS house prices. I mean like bombed out row houses for $600,000. I know it's not totally the exchange...

    A new boat that actually seems worth the money...

    Every month when I peruse the pages of that worthless rag Boating Magazine, I look at all the new boats being "reviewed" (hah!) there and usually when I see the prices I'm like OMG :eek: Granted there is usually a Stingray ad which lists prices and those boats are very fairly priced I think but...
