    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I'm checking out the angles of your dash. I'm looking at bending up some alum to kind of match yours if I can.

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I glassed the front of mine even though they were one piece. I had a couple of holes that I filled with epoxy then sanded it all down and glassed it over. The glass should hold it all together and would make for a better backing when I riveted...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Just going through some of the pics again. She looks great man. Makes me think I should have done a storage locker as well. The whole splashwell area and drain look better than factory. Your dash is going to look great. Now I need to figure...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration You're sick. Now I know I like you :) The Hannibal reference was cool but even funnier in Joe Dirt mode :) We all need to get together and project some movies on a garage door or sheet at these Starcraft get togethers with a beer in hand:)

    Re: 77 Starcraft Holiday 18 i/o - rebuild with pics galore Just picked up some of the trailer POR-15 prep materials. One will degrease the trailer after sandblasting and the other will etch it and I'm ready for paint. The POR-15 paint will be Whitecote which hopefully will be good forever.

    bow roller/anchor storage

    I was wondering who had any pics of or recommendations for bow roller with anchor storage. I'll be lake fishing in under a hundred feet of water with a 18.5 foor alum boat. It would be nice to just pull up the anchor and stow the anchor in the bow roller so I don't have to be dragging the...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Where did you get your teak. Did you just rip the strips to the same dimensions as the old and route the edges. I need to start looking at doing mine in the next week or so. I think my pieces are probably the same dimensions and shape as yours.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Awesome wood work man. I should have done the ski locker as well if I would have been thinking. The boat is looking great with that kicka** gas tank in there as well.
