Restored 1959 Lone Star El Dorado $6500 Detroit, Mi 22 May 2023 16:11 #125566

Looks like a very good deal. A lot of time and money sunk into it. Listed on facebook and not far from there in Troy MI  is a '55 Vagabond with a 35 hp. Super Sea Horse. Not a bad looking boat for the asking price $5,750 but it has "Flying Boat Man" emblazoned on the side. The seller is making a dubious claim about the boat's heritage. He wouldn't be the first. I prefer the Feathercraft's that are made from the wings of B29's.
