Could anyone tell me if there are any companies that make new plexiglass windshields for a 1957 model lone star 20 ft. cabin cruiser boat? Are there any factory windshields still in inventory somewhere? Are there any boat salvage yards where windshields can be found? Any help would be appreciated! Please email me at: chaneyd@iocc.com, Thanks, Don Chaney

: : : I purchased a 63 lone star 23ft cruiser about 5 years ago. It was equipped with twin 40 horse Evenrudes. I am trying to restore it as much as possible but need a new windshield and seals for both the cabin area and the upper deck. Does anyone know if parts are available or who might be willing to make a new plexiglas windshield?
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : 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
: : : : : : : 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?
: : : : : : lone star page... http://www.concentric.net/~Gwick/
: : : : : It is great to see so much intrest in lone star boats. i have five lone stars from 18ft to 14ft one is I/O. the were well built and worth restoring, i have not found any info on the intrnet and i have looked for hours and hours. it would be great to have a page on lone stars,
: : : : Another canidate for a lone star page. I have 3 lone stars, Commander, Admiral (I think), and a Cruisemaster. Have list of 16 owners with email address that I'd be happy to share. I also have some photocopies of lone star brochures.

: : :
: : : would like owners list and brochures

: I've got a 13' lone star sailboat that I'd like information on. Anyone have any information on these? What company built them, where, how many are out there? How do I refinish? It needs paint, some fiberglass work, and a new mast step.
