New to the site but love old stuff. Quick question,, I have a 2nd owner 1961 Lone Star Vacationer in 98% original condition. I live in North Texas and was wondering where to get a fair appraisal of it's value

Hi Mike, I believe the steering wheel is an Attwood ? Many boat manufacturers used them, so that won't help IDing the boat.
Don't give up the search ! I thought Ancarrow because he made some wild boats, but I don't think that's it

Just call me Mike Cats replied the topic: #148790 1 year 4 days ago

Any idea where to start to figure out brand or year?
How about ideas from the steering wheel?
I'd hate to junk it.

Mike

Sorry haven't been on in quite a while but have you tried Discount Marine Parts out of Bark River MD? www.discount-marine-parts.com They have the story on the motors and have some parts, maybe not what you need but they might be able to help locate them. Like CHuck said alos, AOMCI. If you join there's probably a forum or someone on there who can help.

Making a New Plexiglass Windshield

Published: Thursday, 21 February 2013 02:00 | Written by Andrew Gott | Print | Email | Hits: 56481

The windshield on my Lake N Sea was beyond salvage-

I looked for a replacement, without luck. So, I decided that I would have to make one.

The old one was acrylic- 1/4" thick. Making an acrylic windshield would require heat bending, and since I don't have access to an oven large enough to heat a part that large, and trying to do it with a heat gun would be tough. So, After doing some research, I decided to try to use Polycarbonate instead. Polycarbonate is stronger, and more flexible. With the extra strength, a thinner sheet can be used, which will conform to the curves better.
