TOPIC: 1962 LONE STAR MEDALLION Out in the Weeds

Friends,

YEP. I've found another NICE tin boat/trailer "sitting out in the weeds" near Austin & that should make a NICE bay-fishing rig.

Do any of you happen to have a GOOD color photo of the interior arrangements & seating for the Medallion?
(Wouldn't you know, that there's NO 1962 factory brochure in the FG Library.)

Also, what is the recommended HP rating for this deep/wide 16 foot tin hull?
(I would guess 60-100HP but I cannot find the USCG rating anywhere.)

yours, satx

This info is from 1964, lists Max. HP as 90. The fuzzy pic shows the seating, 1964.

I have a bunch of other pics of Medallion seats but all are redone or revamped. The pic in blue trim on a beach is from 1963.

alumaglass,

THANKS. - I wonder how different that the seating was for 1962????

ADDENDA: I would very much appreciate you posting the photos that you have of the interiors/seating of the Medallion hulls.

To ALL,

IF the bad weather ends this week, I'll be going to north Travis County on Sunday afternoon to pick-up the boat & trailer.
Then, I have to find a matching pair of 40HP OMC BigTwins to restore/power it.= A matching pair of GALE SOVEREIGNs would be IDEAL for water-skiing, fishing the rivers, lakes & bays of south TX and any number of other "marine pursuits", imVho.
(Btw, the hull was built in April 1962.)

And you now have something to pull it with

TallTexan,

YEP & thanks to "a certain gentleman from Richmond, TX", it's a NICE truck that I'll be using, too.

Btw, do you happen to know of anyone over your way that might have suitable Lone Star seats???
(Even "trashed seats" would be a better place to start than from a pile of plywood, foam & yards of upholstery material.)

yours, satx

Nice find, we may have to form a Lone Star club in San Antonio. I just got my CruiseLiner off the blocks and on my Gator rectification last week.

Essayon,

I'm FOR that idea. = GOOD PLAN.
(I'm somewhat of a "nut" about Texas-BUILT boats.)

yours, satx

I have 4 Lone Stars, 2 Nassau 56,57 a Cruise Liner 59 and a trailer.
