Description
$90,000+ IP Factory Refit in 2015!
NEW CHAINPLATES + FIBERGLASS TANKS + MUCH MORE!
Lone Star is a well maintained blue water cruiser that punches far above its weight class. While officially 38 feet, the clever layout—featuring two private staterooms, two heads, and an expansive galley—gives the vessel the interior volume of a much larger yacht.
It is rare to encounter a boat of this vintage backed by such an extensive 10-year refit history. A deep dive into the specifications reveals a vessel that has been consistently upgraded for peak performance. Safe, comfortable, and ocean-ready, Lone Star is prepared to take her next owners to any horizon they can imagine.

Brokers comments:
Lone Star has benefited from several massive updates and refits over the past 10 years. All of the big expensive projects have been completed. As she sits today, the boat is ready to go back to coastal cruising.
The built in refrigeration has been removed in order to provide additional dry storage, and a 12V Engel 45qt chest refrigerator provides a good amount of cold storage. Reinstalling a built-in compressor and evaporator is not a complicated project if her new owner wishes to have it back to its original functionality. She also has room for 2 more batteries in order to double the AH rating of the house bank.
