    Youtube - 1977 Starcraft Boat Brochure

    I'll post the operators manual soon as well. It's like going back in a time machine. Just wondering if these old boats were made better. A lot cheaper than new anyways.

    Converting 3 button trim/trailer switch to two separate Carling switches - Mercruiser

    I'm looking at converting my thrashed 40 year old 3 toggle up/up-out/down switch to two separate Carling illuminated trim and trailer switches. The logic is the up/down function on the trim switch will power the blue or green circuits for up and down within trim limits. Switch the up on the...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    The 140 runs like a top man. Keep on sneaking in time to get her finished then you can use it 5 times in two years like me :). Next summer is the year of boating for sure. Actually I'll try to use it a bunch of times in July and Aug to get my moneys worth.

    Re: 77 Starcraft Holiday 18 i/o - rebuild with pics galore Back again. More madness. After getting a quote for 1700 for a camper top I'm going to take a crack at reverse engineering mine with the help of my mother in law and a commercial sewing machine. Sunbrella plus material will be used...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Nice work. Those seats are going to look great in the boat. You've been busy. How did you find Sanibel island. You wouldn't happen to have any pics would you. We did Orlando and Madeira Beach, Anna Maria Island, etc last summer.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I'm digging the experiments. That's the way to go for sure...a small investment to test but a big payoff when the stuff lasts near forever.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Check to see if they are called offset piano hinges. I think that's how I looked them up. http://veada.com/boat-pedestals/off-set-ha203ho-aluminum-hinge.html I need some too but with a deeper offset.
