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.
