    Lonestar Cruiseliner ??

    If you're still on the hunt for a Lonestar Cruiseliner, I've got one that I just can't get around to restoring. It's a real beauty as far as lines and the hull is in really good shape and even has nice paint. The interior needs gutted, and it's been converted to I/O. I bought it as a project...

    1958 Lonestar Cruiseliner

    Breaks my heart, but I’ve just not been able to get the family behind getting around to fixing up this old gem. It’s a 1958 Lonestar Cruiseliner aluminum cuddy cabin. Has a 120 Mercruiser inboard/outboard. I bought this boat 7 years ago as a project and haven’t been able to get to it. I was...

    23' Lone Star Cruise Liner Conversion...adding strength?

    No love for the fins of the late 50's, huh?! Have a 58 waiting on my attention some day - I appreciate your pictures and comments on the stringers. Good knowledge to tuck away for the future. Just curious - with those twin 70's what speeds were you seeing and how did it handle with that...

    "Forming" or bending a jonboat into a different creature

    Tinboaters let me ask you this: I have a concept of turning a small flatbottom jon into something of a low profile layout boat, similar in concept to an old Alumacraft Ducker. I propose to do this by essentially "disjointing" the seams at the four corners of the boat, and folding the sides...

    ALUMA-JET- Duracraft 1648 SV Jetboat Conversion

    PSG-1: Another question if you may know the answer. do any of the Yamaha dual-jet boats, including their XR1800, for example, use the cast aluminum housing for the intake and pump vs. molding it into their fiberglass hulls? If so, may be an easier (though slightly more costly) path to go down...

    ALUMA-JET- Duracraft 1648 SV Jetboat Conversion

    PSG-1 - thanks for the thoughts and insights. I had not thought much about the deflection issue and bearing wear. That would obviously be harder to overcome without some beefier transfer sytem that took that load for the pump shaft, so it might start to get unruly! I wasn't even going to...

    ALUMA-JET- Duracraft 1648 SV Jetboat Conversion

    I know this thread is a little old, but hoping PSG-1 is still tracking... PSG-1 - Simply an awesome job. I have a boat that I want to take down a similar path, except that I want to look at the dual-jet setup that someone has recommended. So I'd like to get your thoughts. My boat is a 1958...
