1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

[bob johnson]

how do you plan on making the inside panels. and how are they attached. I didn't get any with my project 22 ft V5 holiday... and am scratching my head on how I can make up some side panels.. there are NO holes in the sides of the boat, so there never was anything riveted!!! most boats are different... and the BIG V5 hulls don't have the same layout as the other hulls( I have an 80s ss180, and a 70's 21' islander and all three are different

Mine has angles under the gunnels that the side panels slip into.

I do. Sorry for the delay...

I think the Holiday V-5's have different gunnels than the SuperSport V-5's after seeing SunnyJim's pics in his thread.

Good idea with the gasket. Got to protect all that hard work.

Yeah, thanks!

I haven't done much the last two weeks. It's been hot and humid. Today the temps are supposed to drop and the long range shows cooler air on the way. Progress will start again!

Hi everyone. I'm still here. Been busy. Even though I'm not trying to be busier, it still seems to end up that way.

Hopefully some good progress to come toward summer.

Good to see you back Dave, looking forward to more progress.

 

[sprintst]

Good to see you back. I still have to pickup my upholstered engine cover from last year You reminded me to pick it up and get it on the boat so I can have some progress

I'm still here and hoping to work on my boat this winter. I'm selling the snowmobiles in hopes of some more free time at home. You haven't missed anything! Dave.

Looking forward to seeing your monster V5 SS hit the waves, my 18'r sure looks small after looking at a 22'r.

Glad you're still around! Looking forward to seeing more work done.

It’s back in my garage after 6 years in a storage facility! Anybody still around?

 

[jbcurt00]

Tin hat guys? Me & @Watermann are about it.
Plenty of fresh recruits in your absence.

We lost Don (GA_BOATER) nearly 2yrs ago, rip.

The SOTY is still being awarded every Jan. Nominations should start soon.

Welcome back

Thanks! Going to start picking away at things. I’m thinking about learning how to sew. I’ve been watching videos and stuff and I think I could do it. The hardest part I think, the back to back seats, are already done. I had someone do them years ago.

Would it be worthwhile to move this thread to the StarCraft Forum? If that could even be done…..

Looking good. Remember looking at this thread for ideas. Great lines on the v5 and we both have a 22' SS.

 

[Gibbles]

I remember how big the 18ft ss v5 was that I helped send up to Canada via dozer so many years ago.

22ft seems like it would be a nice size for one of those.
