Brent, here is the hardware I have put together for my Malibu.
They are not "Lone Star Specific" but are period correct.
The bow navigation light will hold the Lone Star pennant on a wood pole.
I did a lot of googling on vintage aluminum boats and these items
were the most common. Will be sending it all out for chrome soon.
then everything should fall into place. I am not going for a restoration,
just to make it look nice and be a headturner.
I will paint the compass white. I lost the hood to it and can not find a replacement
without buying a whole nother compass. aaaaarrrgggggg
and be rest assured that I will have a stern light - will try to make the base inconspicuous
and the post will be removable and stored away when not in use.
The windshield that I have is about 10" too long so I will cut a section out of the middle
and it will have the polished aluminum flatbar down the center which will not be objectional (in my world).

back in the early '70s, I worked part time in a boat yard and have done my fair share
of grinding and fiberglassing !!!!! working on the old wooden boats turned out
to be my passion at that time. and now, some 50 years later, I have come full circle
back to the vintage aluminum and wood boats.
you mentioned the Cruisemaster..... they come up for sale now and then in my area.
anywhere from $1500 to $6k. but, they are 22 feet long and 8ft beam. I would have
to buy a new truck to haul it around with LOL - not to mention the $10-15k in propulsion
and renovation.......... so I will stick to 16ft and under.
Keep up the good work !! you are almost there
