Re: My 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 (yes, pics)

Pretty sure the boat is all original (no conversion) as I bought it from the original owner. He said the boat originally had an inline 6 Merc O/B on it. The starcraft brochures show the transom on the 22' different than the 18'ers.
Going by the brochures the V5 hull came out in 1978. I have found the 22' V5 SS in the '78 & '79 brochures but the 22' V5 SS disappears in the 1980 brochure. I am lead to belive my boat was only produced 2 years. When I get home I will take a picture of the ID tag. I believe it reads (in no particular order) 1979 V5 Starcraft 22' O/B. The other thing I noticed is the 22' dash is much plainer than the dash on the 18' or on the Holidays. I have not come across another 22' V5 SS or Holiday in tha past few months of searching the internet until Jim Chuck posted in this thread. I hope he will post some pictures.

iboats member Ozzgood2001 has a '76 22' SS hull, I'm not sure if it's the V5 hull or not, couldn't find a picture of the bottom hull in his thread.

I think you're about right on the years of availability. The '79 brochure has the most detailed info on these hulls that I've found. I just wish they had made a V5 16 footer, that would be sweet:D

From the '78 brochure:

The bottom left shows my transom style:

This from the '79 brochure shows the same transom on the 22' V5 Holiday:

..and like I said, I haven't been able to find much info (or pictures of actual boats) on these V5's other than the brochures we have here on iboats. If anyone comes across anything please let me know.

Dj. would you please post more pics of the transom? Side view and all. I swear it looks like the motor is extended from the transom with a "lip" at the bottom.
