    Re: 78 Starcraft, V5-22, What do I have? I did get alot done. I am going to start adding rivets in between the others on the front and down the sides for reinforcement. I think there is too much flexing causing the rivets to loosen up. The aluminum floor will make the hull more ridgid. I...

    Re: 78 Starcraft, V5-22, What do I have? I worked on getting up the old plywood flooring this weekend. The raised fron area was just some wood structure without any boyancy boxes like I had hoped for. I found the fuel tank! I didn't know if it was going to be 2 smaller tanks in the outer...

    Re: 78 Starcraft, V5-22, What do I have? I got the first piece of the aluminum reinforcement on the transome repair. It really gave it strength and I look forward to puting the rest of the structure in there. I do believe it's going to be super strong as compared to what was there. 5 speed

    Re: 78 Starcraft, V5-22, What do I have? Yes those plugs are on all newly overhauled engines or new engines. They must be replaced when they turn color to keep the moisture down. I'm not working on the transom today... raining and 6 to 10 inches of snow heading this way! I did manage to...
