    Texas Maid or Lone Star???

    ...a Lone Star. The tags are all gone and the body emblem is missing. But when I search for pictures, no Lone Star looks like this boat with the type of tail fins it has. The boats that have this type of tail fins apear to be a Texas Maid Falcon. Can anyone look at my pics and tell me what it is?
