Response to Ginger "B" too

Thanks for the cool pics! We have a lot of pics of Arnold Boyance in his 136 "Ginger B", but hadn't seen any of these. Mom says this boat was the first cabover that Dad built around 1954/1955. Then he built his own cabover 280 in 1956. Both boats were very successful. The design wasn't very popular. I don't think the guys liked sitting up there so close to the water. (The drivers in vintage still say they like their conventionals better.) I don't think the history of the cabover has been resolved yet...anyone have any input?
