Hi. I’m new to the site so please bear with me. I have come across what I believe is an early Lonestar Admiral Triple Deck with its original trailer(I think). I would greatly appreciate any recommendations on where to locate numbers on this boat. Paint is original except the sides So I want to be careful where I actually remove paint. Thanks for any help.

Perhaps a 1955 14ft Admiral? Never heard it referred to as a triple deck, but w 1 around motor well, 1 amidships and the forward bow deck, I suppose its a triple.....

Not sure 55 LoneStars had any stamped numbers, no HIN for sure....

someone else may know more about early LSs

I wouldn't worry about trying to keep her Original! Boats are NOT like cars. They do NOT retain or increase their value over time. In fact they mostly lose value and you would be lucky to get back what you invest in restoring it. If you're looking to make money from the restoration...You should look elsewhere.
