I see your looking for information on a Kells 23. I would be willing to share what I have in trade for what you may have. Please contact me at your convenience.

Member's Comment: My son just bought a Kells 23 and we too are restoring it but are having difficulty finding information on it. We'd be happy to find and share any information we could get on it.

I'm currently restoring a Kells 23. I have looked far and wide but can find no information on these boats. I don't get discouraged easily, so I still plan on finishing my project. The problem is that there were apparently very few sold and they all, (at least the three I have seen in the last year) are being neglected. I enjoy puttering around the boat but I can only guess at certain things and I'm sure they will be fine, but I need to pick the brains of my fellow Kells 23 owners. I cannot find a single brochure, or any reference for the company. They apparently went out of business in '79. I wonder who ended up with the molds, Designs, and hull numbering records. It's been nearly 20 years so I expect I'm whipping a dead horse, but I can try.

I have a 22ft Lonestar cabin cruiser that was made in 1960.This boat is in very good shape.The inside is all orignal.The lights work ,all of the windows are orignal. I purchased it in 2001 for 500.00 with a tandum axel trailer.I had no idea when the boat was made,but have fell in love with this boat.All i can think about is one day i just might be the next CEO of the redneck yacht club. Anchoring down this 1960 classic in party cove.I really look forward to getting this boat on the water next spring. It would be nice to hit the water this summer, but other things must come first.I do have a few ? that i need answered.Like what did this boat look like when it was new ,where i can find replacement parts,like a windshield,a engine mount,what size motor it came with ,where the stering was located,how many of these boats were built,is the company still in business today.I still need to replace the floors and walls in back end of the boat.This boat had 8 layers of paint on it ,this was a real job getting the paint off this boat.Well thats enough about the boat.Here is a little about me.I am 42 years old ,i enjoy the outdoors whether it be fishing,hunting,camping ect.The water is my favorite even if its just sitting on the bank looking at this great creation that god give us to enjoy,it beats a bad day working any time.I have 2 kids one is 10 years and the other is 8.I try to spend as much time with them as i can ,But i have to work and they have school.There is always summer time which we really make the best of. Thats all i have for now.I look forward to hearing from you all soon.but most of all i hope someone can answer my ? are send me some pictures are advise on this 1960 22ft all aluminun cruisemaster cabin cruiser made by Lonestar boats.Thank you for all, are if any help that may be given to me about my boat.Enjoy the water

Hi, Right now (not RIGHT NOW) I'm running around with my kids on a 17 ft runabout, fishing and skiing. Staying in Reynolds Channel and back bays on Long Island's South Shore. I will hopefully be living aboard again soon. I found the club  on Craig's List.

I live in Pa near the second largest man made lake in Pa Lake Wallenpaupack. I do own a boat one that is laughed at by many! It has no windshield which is fine by me there is nothing greater than cruising across the lake with the wind in your hair and the water squirting your face. the boat doesn't look like much but she's mine and runs just fine. She prefers full throttel!

I just discovered your site through a link on Wyandott YC web page. They are a member of the Associated Yacht Clubs which is a group of over 30 clubs within a 50 mi. radius of the Toledo Harbor Light in Lake Erie. I am a member and Past Commodre of River View Yacht Club in Toledo which was formed in 1949 much the way you established AVYC.
We are all volunteer and proud to stay that way. I have been living in Port Clinton for the last 6 years on a canal with good access to Lake Erie with my wife, Joyce and am currently
between boats after selling our 31 ft. Silverton.
Hope to find another boat soon and get back on the Lake in our own boat. I have to admit  i enjoy going out with friends on thier boats without  having the attachment of the responsibility of maintenance but the other half of the equation is the friendship and fellowship that we all share on the Lake.
Another Bill was the name of my boat, maybe I'll run into some of you on "Another Bill Too" soon. Friday

We own a 33 Grand Mariner Sedan that is moored in Comox Basin on Vancouver Island, Canada.  Our cruising area is from the border to Alaska on the west coast of Canada.  And we have seen a big portion of that in the 14 years we have cruised here.  Love to kayak, fish and explore.  A happy hour at the end of the day with friends, a bottle of wine and fresh seafood is heaven on earth

AVYC Member : Larry
I have been interested in boats for some time. I recently purchased 2 sea rays; one is an 83 the other a 82, both are 270 sundancers. One is running the other needs repowering. I am a novice on this size of boats and am looking for any help possible.

Keyport, NJ on the Raritan Bay is where I'm at. My Bauer 10 sailing dinghy is about the prettiest, smallest and most used boat on the water. No wind?, no problem, I row, row, row my boat. Getting this boat got me off the couch, I'm on the water almost every day for about 3 hours after work and double that on weekends.

We are 70 years old and have sailed for 40 of those years. We have sailed the Aegean, Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico.  Our last trip was this past spring, 35 days from Tampa,FL to Corpus Christi TX. in our "new" 1972 Gulfstar 36.  We are planning to sail up the Tenn-Tom, Ohio, & Illinois to Chicago than back down the Mississippi this summer to escape Hurricane season.  And perhaps in November down to  the Dry Tortugas then into the Caribbean for the winter.

I own a Golden Hind 31, Maurice Griffith designed sloop built in Plymouth, UK. My partner and I sailed her back to the West Coast of Canada over 20 years ago and now I'm refurbishing her so that she can go on further deep sea cruises with a new owner. Then, if I'm not too exhausted I'd like to get about in a 12' sailing/rowing dinghy.
