    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration can you tell me what your final transom worked out to be..the "extension thing" thay holds your kicker? I just bought a Panther model 40 from marinetech in MN for $470 bucks and am wondering if I shouldve saved the 470 and rigged something.

    Plywood for Floor - Resin Coating

    I am replacing a floor on a 1980 18 ft Sylvan. I am using 5/8 treated ply (too cheap for the marine stuff) and want to coat with resin. 1. Should I thin the resin before application to allow it to penetrate into the plywood? If so, at what ratio? Thanks

    1979 Merc 115 Steering Question

    Symtom: Motor will not turn as far as it should. I can see on the motor mounting (where the motor sits on transom) where the steering mechanism is hitting the mount and limiting how much the motor will turn. Anyone have a picture of what the correct arrangement for connecting the steering...
