I just stumbled accross this forum today and signed right on, so this post is to say hello to the members.
I have a 1956 Lone Star, Clipper (16' alum) boat that I am SLOWLY working toward restoring as time and dollars allow. About a year ago I discovered the world of clasic era boat and just fell in love, the line of some of these old boats are just too cool.
I have a 1968 Johnson 40hp motor that is my first option for my boat but I really hope to be able to come across an OB of a year closer to that of my boat both for the era correct factor but also for the stying and look of the old engines. I expect I will find my feet in the Johnson, etc, camp, that is why I placed my 1st post in this forum.
I am looking forward to exploring the forums and discussions here, getting good conversations going.
