If you could please dig out those photos... at your convinience of course. I am curious as to whether this is a good lead or not...
This Friday I will have an 8x10 photo scanned of the boat in 1974, all in the black and gold fuzzy finish. Maybe someone will recognize that.
Short of me sanding away at the sheetmetal on the boat to see if any lettering was there. Which will happen soon.
