A 1953 trademark registration for Carter Craft plywood boats listed T. Y. Bingham as president and treasurer of Carter Craft Corp. Address was given as 2nd and West St., Parker, Florida. First use of the mark was given as July 1949. More information on the history of Carter Craft Boats is available at the Carter Craft Boat Registry.
