[QUOTE="satx78247, post: 393136, member: 11019"] mgros483; All, THANKS for the offer. BUT you are TOO FAR AWAY and I'm looking for a "full restoration project". Fwiw, I "think" that I've finally, after much "looking about", found "MY boat". = A VERY RARE 14-foot 1958 LONE STAR CORONADO. ======> The CORONADO is a "really Plain Jane" runabout/utility hull that is RARE because hardly anybody bought one in 1958 & Coronado hulls in "as sold condition" are a LOT rarer in 2015. = Plain painted plywood-covered rear bench-seat, really "plain-vanilla" upholstered front "walk-through" seat, NO windshield & minimal "decoration". - ALL of the "known Coronado hulls" are WHITE with WHITE, YELLOW, RED or BLUE deck. (SOME few Coronado boats were said to have been sold with NO upholstery - just bare/painted plywood seats. = I suspect that relatively soon that even those seats got "padded" for the good of the operator's tush, if for no other reason.) Fwiw, I find it "mildly amusing" that it is generally the "Plain Jane" utility boats that are RAREST of most builder's products. = For example, TEXAS MAID reportedly built LESS than DOZEN utility-versions of the 16-foot FIESTA. (It is said that TEXAS MAID perhaps built ONE 18-foot utility for sale & that one was delivered to a Dallas boat dealer in 1960 & "tricked out fancy, from the parts bin" before it was sold to a retail customer.) IF I win the Coronado, (it's up for sealed bid for a charity & I believe that I'm likely to be the winner.) it will be a REALLY quick/easy restoration & will be powered by a Johnson RDS-20, that's currently resting in my living room. (No more than a Coronado weighs, it should "really scoot" with 35HP.) yours, satx [/QUOTE]
