    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Don't know if this is much help, but my Jet Star had vinyl glued to aluminum on the dash tray when I got it, and it looked to be stuck on with contact cement. It was stuck pretty good.

    How to position guide-ons?

    These came with my trailer and I'm thinking about putting them back on to use. What's the best way to get them correctly positioned? By measuring, or do you load the boat on straight then put them on? How far should the rollers be from the sides of the boat when correctly loaded?
