The Historic West-Texan

Patrolling Eagle Mountain Lake Since 1941

The Star-Telegram's West-Texan, a beautifully maintained 38-foot Chris Craft cabin cruiser, has a rich and colorful history. In 1941, a group of prominent citizens from the Fort Worth area presented the boat as a gift to Amon G. Carter Sr., the founding publisher of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

The names of those who bestowed the boat are inscribed on a brass plaque mounted in the main cabin. It reads in part "... For his relaxation and enjoyment... in admiration of a native West Texan... a citizen of Fort Worth... one who has ever been proud of the land of his birth and home town... ever enthusiastic in his praise, whether East of the Trinity or West of the Pacific, this Cruiser, the West-Texan, is present by his fellow townsmen to Amon G. Carter."

The Eagle Mountain Classic Boat Club continues this enthusiastic spirit and pride, and it shows. Visit our photo gallery of member boats and maybe even add your own photos.

Are you interested in Classic Boating? Does this look like fun?
If so, we would like to invite you to join our Club. It's not necessary to own a boat; enthusiasts are welcome! Perhaps we can help you find that special boat you've been dreaming of. If you already have one, we can help with information, resources, expertise, supplies, and lots of moral support!

All this can be a lot of fun, especially when you share it with a lot of other crazy boat people.
Feel free to complete a membership application online or print it for completion and send via US mail.
