[QUOTE="TexasJim, post: 464815, member: 24649"] Hi: I bought a 1958 Blue Star 14, made in Oklahoma. to convert into a flats skiff for the Texas coast. I removed the center seat, cut the gunwales down to 2-1/2 inches above the seats, built flat front, side and rear decks, with a 3-1/2 by 5 foot open center cockpit. Trolling motor on front deck. Powered by a 1961 Johnson 5.5 Twin, until I can scrounge up an old 15-25 HP outboard. I'm trying to upload pics, but I'm Mr. Non-Geek, and it may not work. Anyway, my first post here. I've peeked in before, but didn't join till now.
