    Doesn't look military to me. It has an Oklahoma registration so you should be able to get some info on the last owner, that is, if you want such info. The motor is obviously an Atomic 4.

    It's been in a field for 20 years we contacted OK parks and Wild Life. They said that they do not keep records past 3 years

    Lone Star?? That nose sure looks like an old Lone Star I had once. You'd think that rocket on the front would be a dead give-away...but I suppose that could be an add-on.

    Seeing the riveted hull brought back memories of my next door neighbor during the late 60's. He was in his late 50's, me being about 10 years old and the neighborhood pest. He had an aluminum canoe that was riveted. He was always working on water leaks. He would re-buck the rivets, spread tar, or any kind of putty to slow down water leaks. He would take it out over the weekend. Then bring it back with a new set of leaks to work on during the week.
