gdunbar14@gmail.com Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 3 Thank you received: 0	I'm new here and quite excited. I'm going to be starting to fix up a '58 Lonestar Caribbean. However, I also found another smaller boat with wings I need help identifying in order to decide if it's project worthy. Thanks, everyone!

Can't wait to see pictures of it and your restoration. Post pictures of both boat projects when you can. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

It looks like the previous owner used docks to stop the forward motion. Good luck. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Haha! If you all are interested, it was submerged in '88, recovered, and then left in a yard with heavy traffic since. The pics show it off of the trailer because of Wyoming wind which is only once of many blow offs.

However, the glass work is the least of my worries because it's what I do for a living. The upholstery and mechanics frighten me.

Thats a project!! What does it have on the back of it? Twin Evinrude ???s
I like the look of them.

Regarding the boat to ID, it is familar looking with the glass holding the seats in the front. Might have been one of the projects 63Sabre was working on. I will take a look and let you know if I figure it out. No plate?

I found neither on my first boat but these guys ID'd it in a day. Someone here will know. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

That is on of my favorite pocket cruisers, you are very lucky to have found one! I can't wait to see the finished boat in all its splendor. I would not fear the upholstery to much as it was probably very basic originally anyways. It is super cool that you have what looks to be original twins on it also, don't fear them they are really simple motors.
