Re: 1961 Lonestar Flamingo - SPLASHED w/Pics

Those 3 cylinder engines were very popular in this area and they are quite plentiful on the used market during the season.

Re: 1961 Lonestar Flamingo - SPLASHED w/Pics

GBF, You are quite a fella!!! I have a compression checker as well. Drive an 02' Toyota Tacoma and own a 5x10 Trailer. Just don't WANT to go all the way to Michigan to get a $800 motor ($3.33 Gas prices makes it a 1,200 motor) but...If It comes to that...we'll see what happens. There's a few iBoaters up that way I would LOVE to meet!!!

Too bad the deal fell through. There is always something somewhere. I was going to say that it's early yet, the lakes are still frozen but I forget about where some of you fellas live.:joyous: Another few weeks here and things will start selling again.:lol:

OH CARP!!! This is on my local CL!!!1948 lonestar boat It's 80 Miles away and The ADMIRAL has given her permission for me to "Go Look" and That's all!!! I don't have any Idea what she is, and Fiberglassics only goes back to 53' I'm trying to figure out what a Reasonable Offer might be??? Can't tell what the motor is. I sent an Email and as yet, no response. Not sure if it's titled, but I have a resource for obtaining a title in Okieland for $100. Trailer looks suspect and I'm betting interior is toast too. I'm expecting a Total rebuild so, IF I can "Steal" her, I just might become a "Tinner" She's a LoneStar just like the BF so at least I'm keeping her in the "Family" I'll Really need a LOT of guidance on this "Metal" stuff but I think I know some guys that could "Hep" me with it. Who know's he might think $5,000 is unreasonable.

I'm thinking $250...:lol:

Re: 1961 Lonestar Flamingo - SPLASHED w/Pics

Soo... What's the normal length of these boats??? And what kind of Power should I start looking for 70 to 100 hp??

You know you'll have to kill a glasser to find a good donor motor right :eyebrows:

Nahh just joking .. Looks like a fun project ! cool H/T !

Re: 1961 Lonestar Flamingo - SPLASHED w/Pics

Lets get a good look at the suspect craft:

Certainly looks like the 1 I posted earlier, just it ^^^ still has the bubble wrap around windshield (which is better, IMO):

Not a great resource, but there are quite a few LS El Dorado's pix posted, LoneStar group

Hope the transom & pod are still intact or they at least did a nice job dropping the transom to allow for a stern mounted OB rather then 1 on a pod.
