Well at least if I get tired of the sea ray I'll just get another v5 or two, or three:facepalm:. I feel like I started a trend! COOL!

Ok this isnt a Starcraft but the trailer its sitting on is nice and the boat looks like it has a nice kicker bracket,it also has a mercruiser and so on.So if someone needs any of the pre-mentioned items might be worth it.....http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/boa/2532365906.html

Deeper V and extra strakes for better ride and rough water handling. Would most likely require more horsepower to push 'em.

While were spotting some V-5s lately, I want to know what's really special about them. Better ride? Because they are rare? Or is it that they just look damn cool? I don't want to derail this great thread, so I guess i'll search for posts. (I know it's been discussed before.)

Since aluminum boats tend to get bounced around in rough weather, folks wanted something that could handle almost everything the Great Lakes can dish out(within 5-10 miles from shore) and the 22' V5 can do that:)

The deeper V/deadrise cuts right thru waves that would toss my 16' SS around pretty good.

Well, its in my driveway! I'll take some pics this weekend and start a new thread. I had a great time meeting Capt_noob and his father, they are two of the nicest guys you will EVER come across. I think we spent more time talking than we did checking out the boats. A few minor bumps in the road but all things considered, it was a great day! Thanks Jason!!!

Thought it was once mentioned that the designer of the V5 jumped to LUND and called it the IPS, then IPS 2 when 2 more strakes added........

Coincidentally, Star hulls had issues mainly the 90's when the centerline keelstrip was added causing leaks. I have chatted with Steve at the Star factory several times and he confirmed it.

Ok just so Im clear then,does that mean to look for a V5 from an earlier time period than the 90s? I was thinking of looking for a V5 to use in the puget sound.

Think the V5 was pitched when he left................the hulls in question do not have the added strakes
