Sunday's Show and Tell ...1/19/20

Well along came another... this is a "put it on the back bummer" boat I just couldn't pass by for $200 delivered.. its a 1959 Lone Star Malibu in need of restoration.. the hard to find "Lone Star" emblems are in very good condition …. photos are as found.. these Finned boats are becoming harder to find all the time.. these originally came painted in Tri-Tone colors, Dover White hull charcoal accent, and choice of Burmese Red, Alaskan Blue, Jamaican Gold, and Tahitian Coral.. mine seems to have been the elusive Tahitian Coral as seen on the dash under the peeling red paint.. here is a brochure of them in 1959 and a photo of one that has been polished..

NICE Lone Star!!!


I ran a 1959 Crestliner Jetstreak back in the 90's. Boats are fun, but can be holes in the water you throw money into..ha!! Like most hobbies I like...ha!!

I've been busy buying stuff. Ordered a Yamaha LL16 acoustic/electrically internal p/u guitar, and a Canadian porcelain Coca Cola thermometer ( some rust damage, but still nice), and almost mint Canadian porcelain match striker. Also an ATC Japan Ford station wagon tin car. I've had the license plates awhile. Small town plates from nearby, cool numbers. Oh, and a roll up ladder for a tin plane.

those Crestliner Jetstreaks are cool!! I was looking at both a 12' and a 14' awhile back and thought about buying one of them but they were both quite a ways away from me and the 12' had holes cut in the deck pretty much wrecking it... and yes they can get pricey.. you have to be careful but then again so does everything else.. life's short ya may as well try to enjoy it while you can..

Exactly, "enjoy life while you can". I agree 100%. I seem to be bombarded with nothing but bad news by friends, acquaintanances, media of death, disease, and illness lately. ( and I try to avoid the news!!, live under a rock, don't own or use a cell phone....)

I used to roll my eyes when my parents would go on about friends dying, & so and so has this ailment etc., NOW I'm in their shoes. I'm only 62, fairly healthy, but jeez....... it can be depressing!!

Yeah, my Crestliner ( sold many years back) was a 14'. The 12' are more desireable. I've owned a couple of other wood boats, and had a large vintage ( toy and full size) outboard collection. I have only kept the '57 Johnson Golden Javelin. Good luck with your project, and keep having FUN!!
