Thanks KMixon and CedarRiverScooter !! I'll have to look at some of Chris Craft photos and see what they look like.. DaleH I like the sorta "PT Boat" lines to this boat also !! GTS225 thanks for your input about the slant six.. after thinking about the years of the six... looking at...

Hello to all.. well yesterday while going to look at a Lone Star Starliner, I passed a house that had this old All Steel Beast sitting in the yard.. it caught my eye and I had to turn around and have a look !! I went to the door and was greeted by a elderly gentlemen who was eager to tell me...

Well I'm getting started on my project again.. I'm going to do some changes to my trailer again before transferring the boat to this trailer.. I have already changed most of the rollers to bunks.. now I want to alter more on the trailer.. A tree somewhat fell across it during a wind storm this...

Thanks Shaugh !! I have thought it over some more. the seller send me more photos and I didn't really like some things I saw ( all fixable but more time and money ) so I also came to your conclusion to pass on this boat and concentrate on my Aero Craft project !! which by the way I'm dying to...

maybe not.. kinda wondering if its really worth saving this one or just concentrate on what I have now and see if a nicer one of these comes along later on that needs less work.. this one is $1000.00 the way it sits..

while waiting for winter to get over so I can get started on my Aero Craft JCC project .. I've ran across this 21' Lone Star Cruise Master in need of restoration.. its a nice straight hull and most of the interior has been gutted. the headliner is dropping and has yet to come out . so it is...

Wow !! that's sad you pitched them.. they are a bit bulky in a small area.. man those 25hp 4 strokes must weight a lot.. my Mark 75 60hp weighs in at about 178 lbs. and my Merc 800 FGS 80hp weighs in at about 195 lbs. !!!

Thanks Pappy !! I'll post some photos when I get them on it.. one of the Mark 75s I won't have in my passion until Spring .. hopefully I'll have the other two on this weekend.. they are a bit heavy to get then on it by myself Lol..

Thanks !! at least I'm not alone on this one !! Lol.. first step is get it on my other trailer and get it home !! then the work begins !! I'll defiantly keep posting photos of the progress.. cant wait to get started..

Thank you !! Weldorthemagnificent !! Now that would be very impressive in deed !! Lol.. I have a couple of the early cast iron Mercury stands and have been looking for a couple more that are affordable when I ran across this one about 2 hours away from me.. the price was right so I grabbed it...

Hi, I recently picked up this Mercury Dealership Motor Stand it holds 3 motors and easily rolls around. the stickers say it holds up to 600lbs.. I haven't been able to find any photos of another one like it. I just thought I would share it with you.. I plan to put 2 1958 Mercury Mark 75s and a...

well nothing new to add about my boat... its still hibernating … but I did just pick up these awesome old life preservers !! they are from about the same era... they are balsa wood and in mint condition.. I think they will display nicely with the boat once its restored !! hope you like them as...

not much more to add at this time just snow blowing some snow today.. hope to go pick up my Mercury Mark 55 and this first generation cast iron motor stand in the next few weeks.. won't be able to pick up my Mark 75 till spring...

Thanks Shaugh, this motor really isn't as heavy as it may look.. its 178lbs.. but I will be using my more modern EZ loader trailer that I converted to bunks for this boat.. the bunks will end just past the transom for best support... just keeping the old trailer because it came with it.. if I...

thanks surfman !! yes I know some other forms I visit do have like buttons... but I guess this way my thread doesn't get buried real deep !! lol this Mercury Mark 75 is the first 6cyl. outboard very made !! they ran a 50,000 mile marathon with two of them that lasted 68 days to prove their...

I really don't know.. someone else on here said they believe they were used as downriggers.. I plan to take them off.. Here are a few photos of my 60 hp.1958 Mercury Mark 75 … the guy said, that the guy he was selling it for, has friends that race boats, and although he doesn't race, he likes to...

here are the last photos for awhile... its put to bed and barely peeking out among the pontoons .... it became very windy the day I tarped it and became quite the challenge.. I also brought home my 60 hp. Mercury Mark 75 (the first tower of power) motor.. no photos just yet, still in my truck...

well its to heavy to pick up the tongue by hand.. but a little easer "but still not easy" to hold up once its at waist level or above... I still plan to use the trailer I bought for it though.... just thought that if its the original trailer a may keep it and restore it as well...

I would be proud it is was !! hopefully I can get a few more photos to share of putting it away for the winter this weekend !! Thanks again to all !! TinBoats is a great site!!

:cry: Yeah that's what I thought when I saw it... :---) well... not really that nice when I saw it waaay in the back buried behind all those pontoons !! hopefully I won't have to work this weekend and I can make one more visit and get her tarped up well for the long cold winter hibernation...
