[QUOTE="enginerd, post: 416109, member: 21309"] Hey, I'm new to the forum, but I'm currently in the throes of restoring a 1962 Lone Star Malibu, which is what I think you've got here. Everything I've been able to find on serial numbers over at the Lone Star Boat Club Yahoo Group (apparently those still exist) would point to you having a 1959 Malibu. The leading digit is supposedly the last digit of the year, hence a 9 indicates 1959 since the Malibu was only in production from 1958 to 1963. The 341 is common to Malibues (How exactly does one write the plural of Malibu?), but I wasn't able to find anything on documentation on exactly what those numbers represented. The remaining digits are the production number for the boat, hence 0079 means your Malibu was the 79th Malibu built in 1959. Good Luck with your project; look forward to seeing your progress.
