friends,
Does anyone have factory photos, brochures and/or advertising copy of the 17ft BLUE STAR "tinny" runabouts/ski-boats of 1960, which were built in Miami, FL?
YEP, I've found such a hull with (I believe) a 1960 DAL-TEX trailer "sitting out in the brush" on a ranch near Goliad.
(The ranch's new owner has NO CLUE about who the rig belongs to now OR anything about it, though it once was "registered to" a man (since deceased) from Pasadena, TX.
As I may acquire the boat/trailer to restore, I'm looking for information on what it looked like NEW, including the boat's interior.
(What is left of the interior is "piled up" in the boat & an adjacent "storage room. - It was evidently/originally painted royal blue over white, with blue/white upholstery.)
Note: It seems as though the trailer was painted to match the hull & in a similar design.
yours, satx
