Message: <blockquote data-quote="mbullen" data-source="post: 506157" data-attributes="member: 24594">for what it's worth, I have a few old Lone Stars and a couple of the factory brochures.It appears to me that the Mariner was rated for 5hp up to 1955.The 10hp rating began in 1956 and ran until 1958 and the Mariner then disappears from the line-up in 1959....so '56-58 is possible?Also for what it's worth, I've found the serials on the 50s LS boats to be randomly placed but all have been upside down, on the inside, nearly hidden by the gunnel. I have two that are stamped starboard side but behind the rear bench and one that is port side but nearly to the bow plate. The serial formats -in general- have the year incorporated in them during the 50s. They went to an 8 digit format in the 60s where year, model, and production number became part of the code.Below is an example from my 1955 Corsair. [ATTACH=full]117647[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
