1979 Lowe Line Stinger 15

UTFISH · Jun 5, 2013

I am brand new to TinBoats having found this site trying to get info for an aluminum boat I recently aquired. It is a 1979 Lowe Line Stinger 15 with what assume is the Hustler trailer that came with it originally. I have taken every thing off but the paint and carpet residue. I would like to know what the original configuration of the boat was. Any ideas where pictures could found? I sent an email to Lowe requesting old photos or brochures if available, but got no response.

Post photo's of what you have now and maybe somebody will know what you have. :lol:

Looks good so far. Inside the transom, on the upper Port side, should be a sticker or a stamping.
The "State" numbers should help you back track, as well as numbers on the Trailer.

I wish I had your boat. It looks good from here.

I already know what it is. It is a 1979 Lowe Line Stinger 15. The HIN is riveted outside the transom on the upper starboard side. I would like to find out how it was originally configured, size of the front deck and locations of passenger seats. Way too many extra holes drilled to discern.

I'd bet it had three seats with a little Cuddy Shelf up front.
I got this from Google.

No, it had pedestal seats somewhere I think as it has a factory aluminum floor. This pic shows better. I started a new thread under full boat projects, with the same subject line, since finding out the transom was totally rotted, and tearing it out required removing everything, making it a full tear down project.
