    Starcraft Parts

    I had been pondering this for a while. Keep in mind we have a host in IBoats, so nothing will be offered, sold, traded, etc that can be acquired by shopping IBoats. This is simply a place to help a fellow Starcraft enthusiast in their effort to rebuild a boat. If you have something to sell, the...

    OH Carp!!!! Spring is COMING!!

    Far be it for me to panic or get excited:rolleyes: but in my area ( VA) I have about four weeks before the Bass start biting good, the crappie will be around the same time, the cats in the James River will be around, and soon the ladies will be in Bikinis. Good thing I am an old man that has...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I am no expert DJ but I thought I read somewhere the vinegar and water will neautralize any oxidation. If you are worried about it you can always ZC and paint the area. As far as the tank, make sure it is cushioned and secured down good. Then...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration DJ. I am having the same problems with my HF air riveter. I recall there being a 'kit' in the pkg that I haven't looked into. Did you read instuctions?? I didn't, just maybe.... Nice work Bro, but what is the info on the birdhouse? Is it...

    2011 SouthEast Starcraft Get together

    Well, HA, (Mike) started this for his area. We tried to have one for our area but NB was the only attendee.:mad: I thought I would throw this out there for the Eastern/Southern nuts out there. Does anyone have any interest in a meet & greet in our area and where would you recommend? I am in Va...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Dj that looks great. Do you think it was neccessary to brace the hull before removal? Next worry of mine is if the new rivets will tighten up if I use the existing holes, were any of yours worn/made larger? I know I should have already done this...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration DJ, I really don't know what grade aluminum sheet I have. My gunwales are 120" to the seam so it works perfect for me. It sure does sound like they are charging you a lot for the metal. Is it flat or are you getting any breaks or hems in it?

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration DJ I like the idea of painting last. Like you said, you can do all the other things without worry of damaging the paint. What if you decided to needed to add a rivet, or do some work that you discovered during the interior work that would effect...

    Side Rail End Caps

    I was out gathering materials for my boat today and I came across these. They are the end caps for the side bumper rails, and they are the perfect match. Here is a close up of the package so you can see Manufacturer & Part # I got them at a Marine store and the guy said it was an old stock...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration OK FINE, do it the easy way, ( I wish I could have ). DJ, the only thing I would reccommend is after it is stripped, do the transom & floor but not the splashwell. Wait untill later after the floor so it won't be in the way. Less head bumps that...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Now you three are starting to worry me. Go to Wally world, buy some stripper, and get to work. Surely you aren't going to spend that kinda coin on something you could do in a few days, are ya? Just think of the boat toys you could get with...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration DJ that looks awesome! Looking at the floor supports, it looks like the floor is above the area where the sides meet the hull bottom. Is that right? If so that would give you about 3-4 more inches in height under the floor, which is different...
