Re: 58 Lone Star Nassau Restore Underway
Thanks for the comment and information Captain. I actually have been making some good progress with the sanding. I am confident I will have most if not all scratches sanded out by the end of summer. I bought a...
Re: 1958 Lone Star Nassau Restore Underway
I've been working on the fins lately. When I had them fill in the holes and the sections where the PO cut out, they left several low spots. The fins are going to be the most prominent section of the boat, so I want to make sure they look the best they...

Re: 58 Lone Star Nassau Restore Underway
As if life wasn't depressing enough! I took a walk down to my dock a few minutes ago. Anyone want to go boating? You will need an ice breaker first. The country may be having warmer then usual weather, but it has...
Re: 1958 Lone Star Nassau Restore Underway
Finished the last two cup holders. Third one was the charm. Looking at the first one compared to the second and third one makes me want to make one more and not use the first one I made. I used a body hammer on the first one and dinged up the aluminum...
Re: 1958 Lone Star Nassau Restore Underway
Been doing some more fabricating for the boat today. I needed to make three (what I'll call ) cup holders. There is one for each of the passengers. I only had one original and it was pretty beat up. I have all three cut out from the sheet of aluminum...
Re: 1958 Lone Star Nassau Restore Underway
Been doing a little work on the boat over the last two days. When I got the boat the original supports for the back seats were gone. So I needed to fabricate some supports. They are basically the same as the front seat supports except they needed to be...
Re: 1958 Lone Star Nassau Restore Underway
I have to agree with Ezmobee that one is too busy. The only problem I have with my first one is too much white. I think I would like to paint the bottom red where it would follow right along the water line. Something like the following pic. BTW I am...
Re: 1958 Lone Star Nassau Restore Underway
Say What!!! I think I read this 5 or 6 times:):):) This is what I came up with.
Thanks for all the nice comments on the paint scheme. I really like the version a couple of posts up.
As far as the job thing goes, I am sure everything will work...

Re: 1959 Glasscat catamaran Project underway
Looks like you have been making some nice progress on the boat Dave. Looks good. The one sink you have should not produce a great amount of waste water. I think I would be tempted to install a smaller...
Re: 1958 Lone Star Nassau Restore Underway
Dave, Not much work getting done on the boat since I put it up for the winter. Being unemployed for over a year has really stripped away funds for the boat. I have been doing a little work on the back seat support. I have a little aluminum around and...
Re: 1958 Lone Star Nassau Restore Underway
So I put the boat away for the winter. I am going to try and do a little work when I have good weather. I have it in the backyard with my other boats. My association is probably already talking to their lawyers trying to figure out how to evict me and...
Re: 1959 Glasscat Catamaran Project Underway.
You have made some real progress in a short time Dave, the boat is looking good. As you have already discovered there is a wealth of information and help on this board, along with some real nice people. Keep up the good work, and don't bake in that...
