Friends,
I've been our cruising the local pastures again & found a '64-65 Eighteen Foot LONE STAR RELIANT on a 2-wheel SHORELINE trailer.
(The hull & trailer are "all there" except for the 2 "lay-down" seats, though both boat/trailer need significant repair/refinishing/repainting.)
So, THREE questions:
1. Do any of our members have GOOD color photos of a '64-65 RELIANT original seating/trim, so that I can copy the original design/color scheme??
2. Do any of you KNOW what company made the "lay-down" seats, as I'm told that Lone Star "contracted out" the seats to an "outside vendor"??
and
3. Do you feel that a PAIR of 40HP "Johnnyrude" 1964 OBs are enough power for the BIG/deep/wide "tinny"??
(Various sources recommend 100-120 HP for this hull.)
THANKS, satx
