    Transom Angle?

    Hey gents! Anybody know for certain the angle of the transom on my 1976 22' Islander? For whatever reason 14 degrees seems to be rolling around in my head. Thanks guys!

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Man that engine hoist sure comes in handy! Wish I could give you first hand experience knowledge on the overfill/drill but I have yet to complete that task myself. So, I'd be bumping along just like you buddy. My preliminary thoughts are to...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Nice work Dave! I think your temps are great this week for Gluvit buddy. I laid mine down on Wed and by Sat it was hard and no longer tacky. We should have upper 60's (maybe even 70?) this week so I am thinking you are golden. Nice job!

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Yah, DJ I think you have found rub rail that is probably about as close as you can get to original. Nice work man, that should be a good reference for future rebuilds, great!:D

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration OK DJ, I was going to just drill mine and 4200 but now you have me feeling guilty by going the over drill, epoxy, then re-drill route. Rats! Though, I think yours will come out and back in a lot easier than my big honking piece of lumber...

    First shot a winterizing a Merc quick check?

    I thought I'd ask a rookie IO owner question now about draining water rather than asking a rookie IO owner question in the spring about how to fix a busted up motor, eh! I'd be very appreciative if you guys could do a quick check of my work to make sure I got all the water out. Here is what I...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I would think that a canvas maker would have a tough time exactly matching your current snaps. If they are off by a little you'd end up having ripples/wrinkles which would be a bummer. Worse would be if you couldn't snap em! Depending on your...

    Starting a Merc V6 for the first time in a while...

    I'd like to get this here Merc running before the serious cold weather sets in. She has been sitting for a couple years so I'd like to do this correctly. Not too long before it's hibernation it looks as though the previous owner had everything rebuilt and winterized (receipts give me that...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Hey DJ, If you are sure you won't be going with any canvas there I'd pull all that stuff off and fill it in. I agree, it will clean up your deck nicely. On your rub rail - I couldn't find that exact style made anymore. A super awesome iboat...
