Bringing her home

The start of my project.  1962 Lone Star Biscayne with 75 hp Johnson engine.

Drove past this diamond in the rough along one of the back roads home.  Saw the for sale sign in the window and listed a phone number and price.  Called the owner up and we chatted for a bit.  He told me everything he knew was wrong with the boat and we settled on a price of $500 for the boat, trailer, and engine.  Paid the man and lead him to my house so that we could get his license plate off the trailer.

The girl as she sat when the Previous Owner (PO from here on out) dropped her off.





Within minutes of dropping the boat, one of our barn cats decided the boat was his and began to groom himself on the bow of the boat.

  1. We have a '62 Biscayne and was wondering if you know where we can get a replacement bimini top. I have not been able to find one that attaches to the windshield. I'm guessing custom made is going to be the way I have to go.
