: : : : I have a partially restored 1958 lone star Boat. I saw something in here about getting a web page together. I'm not the computer wiz, but I would like to see some more info out there for us lone star fanatics. I need some info about my boat, ie: original color, manufacture date etc.
: If anybody out there has any info on the 1958's, please email me at chef987@hotmail.com.
: thanks

: : : : : : My brother and I have recently purchased a 1969, 23' lone star - Cruise Liner. Unfortunatly , the only parts left in the boat was the Steering wheel and sink.We would like to restore the boat to original. I would greatly appreiciate any information or pictures of any boats like it.
: : : : : Also refer to lone star BOATS further down page... Mike, from talking to some old timers the 23-24 Ft was a really great boat, they even had ceramic tile around the sink. Someone has to have some sales literature. The orginal colors on my '63 were a light tan with turquorise trim/accent.
: : : : : I now have 16 ft stripped and ready to prime. I am looking for the green zinc cromate primer that they use on aircraft but have only come up with a black of unknown composition. I understand the green may not be avaiable anymore. Does anyone know where to get it?
: : : : Gene: you might check on Dupont 615S&616S
: : : : VARIPRIME, it's a 2 component self etching primer. I've had good luck with it on everything
: : : : steel,alu, and over paint. It seems to soak into the metal. READ THE INSRUCTIONS !
: : : : you need a good mask, and ventilation !
: : : : but its worth the effort, and price.
: : : : Now another thought , We need a lone star BOAT PAGE. Sorry to say i'm not that smart. Any body out there with the time & talent?
: : : //////
: : : Bob, Thanks for the information on the paint. I will call on it tomorrow. A page would be nice. What are some thoughts on what it should include. Putting a simple one together would not be hard as long as we don't have to have a lot of fancy graphics.
: : : Everyone who has posted lets hear some ideas on content. I will start it off. Logo at top of page. Background/ years of production, models, etc; but to do this we need old dealer info. I have gone to Chrysler's web site since they i believe were the
: : : last owners, they have to have a historian/liberianwho can get info from the archives. Does anyone have contacts at Chrysler who can help?
: : : Any comments?

John, I have a '57 lone star Malibu with a Johnson 35. The engine and
boat are in good condition, but the gas tanks (pressure dual hose) are
toast. Do you know where I could get replacements? videopix@fone.net
