    Lone Star 1956 Restore

    Hey guys, thanks for asking. I’m sorry to say, I’ve not finished her. She is parked on the back of our property with a tarp covering her. Her motor is still on the stand in the barn.

    :LOL2: :LOL2: :LOL2: Kis, I didn't say 250 on the hoof. All you need is a nice lady that likes to fish to ride up front. 120 lbs would help hold that bow down. It would make at good Candid Camera skit, Rich!

    Barge/Cabin Build on The Sabine River, East Texas

    :shock: We didn't get it nearly as bad as Houston, Katy and surrounding. Barges are all fine, but the guys did go and make sure pulleys and weights were all ok. My goodness at all the rain Texas has seen this past year. Thanks for asking!

    Barge/Cabin Build on The Sabine River, East Texas

    You guys are too funny! :LOL2: Mr. Johnny, I have answered your pm. Bobber, rest assured, I am not an expert on anything, well, except making sure I'm seated at the supper table. :LOL2: This looks like a LS Commander, but, I could be wrong. They were, and still are, a pretty popular boat...
