    1974 Starcraft SS 22’ Transformation

    The top picture is factory? Or what someone did to add support? I’ll take a closer look at mine to see if it is possible to add bracing at the ends. Otherwise will be doing the in between the ribs. It appears you riveted your supports. How are you guys getting your hulls so shiny? I used a flap...

    1974 Starcraft SS 22’ Transformation

After reading the rivets sticky I was under the impression they were going...

    Hi SHSU, Thank you for your reply. The current tank is topside. I planned on having the tank in the middle but a little more to the bow.
