Hi all, I'm trying to find out what ever happened to a stern wheeler. I helped build her in Waco Texas back in the early 70's. It was christened the Barazos Queen and was used as a dinner cruise boat for a few years before being sold and moved to Rockwell Texas. The last info I can find states it was used as a cruise boat there on lake Ray Hubbard under the new name Texas Queen. That's where the trail ends. There are rumors that it went into disrepair and sunk. My wife and I are planing a trip to Texas in March and I sure would love to see her again, the Queen that is not my w--- oh you know what I mean! Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Texas Queen Re your post Texas Queen.Saw the one on e-bay and it did not look like same boat.The one I saw on Flicker is a dinner cruise riverboat. I am not familiar with the other one having never seen it till today. Perhaps someone on the site can be of assistance and sorry I was not more help,Karl an good luck with your search.Carole Matthews Pompano Beach Fla 33064 If you pull up Texas Queen Riverboat the dinner cruise information comes out.And on Flicker a picture of the dinner riverboat comes forth.
