WHAT IS THIS?????? 11 years 7 months ago #77087

Friends,

Any of our tin boat experts KNOW what this boat/OB/trailer in a salvage yard is?

Austin, TX Craigslist item: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

I've never seen one exactly like this one. - Hate to see it cut up for scrap.

HandyAndy,

THANKS for posting some of the photos. - Have you seen one exactly like this?
(I spent considerable time looking in the library W/O success.- It looks like a Lone Star's lines but I cannot find a LS with a transom configuration like this one has.)

m casey stock,

I'm calling them first thing in the AM. - They were closed from 5PM Friday until Monday 9AM.

NOT a bad looking rig, either.

Looks like a 58 lark hanging off the back.
Here's one on a glass boat I have sitting out back.

m casey stock,

YEP. It's appears to be either a 58 or 59 Lark. - It looks like everything but the seats are there, too.

Looks similar to a Aero-Craft but I don't know for sure.

To ALL,

There is (as far as can be seen) NO data plate, serial number, maker's name or any other identifying data on the hull.

The boat was first registered with the TX Parks & Wildlife Department in 1959.

Anybody else have an idea? - I'm completely clueless on the identity of this one.

So, you got the boat?

m casey stock,

NOT until the salvage yard is willing to give me a notarized bill of sale. = It MAY be STOLEN.- At this point it's NOT salable.
(The yard owner is trying to find legal documents to allow him to sell it.)

Well at least if he knows you want it, it surely won't get scrapped. At some point you would hope they would say "We can't find anything about this boat in any records anywhere so nobody can claim it was stolen because there are no documents of ownership" or "Yep, it was stolen and we have contacted the owner" either way hopefully it won't get scrapped. The scrap yard does know whom they bought it from, right?

m casey stock,

Generally, around here "items sold for scrap, by the pound" are bought for cash without required ID from the buyer.
(I've sold all sorts of scrap metal picked up at our club's premises & have been asked for ID twice in numerous "trips" to Newman's Recycling.)

I just don't know if they know who the seller was. They are "looking for info" for me & said that it won't be scrapped until they check things out.- The boat/OB/trailer is therefore safe for now.

TallTexan; HandyAndy; m casey stock; All,

After looking carefully at the FG Library, it's a 1959 CRESTLINER Voyager 15.
(I knew somebody here would KNOW.- Now to get the papers on it!)
WOO HOO.

THANKS to each of you.

TallTexan,

I had all of that already, except the phone number for the PO. - I presume that you noted that the TPWD document says that the brand-name is "V BOTTOM"!
(Evidently "the seller" & Mr Perez are NOT the same person.)

Please email me Mr Perez's phone number.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, "TT".

TallTexan & ALL,

Do you (or anyone else) KNOW what kind/width/height/etc. of windshield that a '59 Voyager 15 had?
(IF I'm going to restore the rig, I want to do it RIGHT.)

TallTexan,

THANK YOU.

I'm calling Mr Perez tomorrow PM (after church hours) to see if he:
1. Sold the rig,
2.Has the documents
and
3. Is willing to sign them over to me, IF he has them.

I wonder WHO made the windshield that Crestliner bought & IF it's a "stock item"???

TallTexan; m casey stock; All,

WOO HOO. - I talked to Mr. Tino Perez at 2120, 05/12/13 & he stated that he sold the boat/motor/trailer for cash, as he had lost the registration.

He will call the TPWD Boating Department tomorrow PM to get a set of duplicate "state papers" & will sign the registration/title over to me for $$$.

Casey: Thanks for the photo.
(BTW, I wonder WHY the 3 guys in the photo are NOT smiling???)

You are welcome. The one in the back wanted "shotgun" but didn't call it fast enough. The one riding "shotgun" is tired of the one stuck in the back griping about his situation and the one driving actually has a little smirk on his face because it's his boat and he doesn't have to worry about such nonsense LOL :lol:
