Welcome to Tin Boats!
Shot in the dark -- Chrysler Lonestar Cruiseliner? Late 60's, early 70's?
That is a lot of boat in 19'. Looks bigger. Are you going to fix it up?

Hull shape looks low or a Lonestar, I believe itwas the competition to the Star Craft Islander... Vaguely remember these from my younger days in the 60's working at a small marina.
Hello, I measured it at 19' . The cruiseliners I've seen have been 24'. The lone stars also have the notch in the nose for an anchor rope. The raised portion around the cabin also throws me off and also makes me think mid 60s... towards the end of the 60s most were flat I believe.
I've been messing around with boats from the 60s and 70s for over 15 years now but this one has me stumped. I'd like to see what it originally looked like. I'm definitely putting this back into service, whether it's original or how I would want it is yet to be determined.

IDK, but you'd better replace everything below the waterline before you wet her.
Nah... I was assured she runs great and everything was replaced when it was last used...
it's going to require a good tear down... I might find more out about the boat by looking at the construction as well. I've only had it a couple days at the moment.
I would welcome the opportunity to watch your progress. Not often we get to see a cabin cruiser brought back to life.

The most popular statement every seller makes !! Even if it were true, how many years back was it ??Nah... I was assured she runs great and everything was replaced when it was last used...
Let's hope it's wood free or at least dry and not rotten. If you know a LEO they might be able to run the old reg numbers and get some info.Nah... I was assured she runs great and everything was replaced when it was last used...
Somehow the guy got it registered as a "mercury boat"... I have the paperwork. Must've begged the right person on the right day... he bought it with out paperwork. Pa fish commission is usually pretty strict or they just don't care to help and make you go through all the hoops to register an abandoned boat. Anyhow, it's registered as something other than what it is.
Oh... and there's wood... it's rotten... but... if it's a lone star they were built with a special hull... like specially matched tires to hit the pace car. I'm pretty sure the stringers are an aluminum channel... like a unibody w/frame construction. I haven't verified that with this boat yet.

Looks like one of those things I'd be paying somebody to take off my hands.
Come on guys, where is your spirit of adventure. Bringing that boat back to life will be awesome. Just make sure your tetanus booster is current and dive in.

If she was aluminum, I would say go for it.....but an old glasser where even the fiberglass needs replaced....no way !!
Op says he is going for it. Should be interesting.
