A fellow who works for me is retiring in 2 days. Yesterday he stopped in the office with a book printed in 1961 about boating. In it were some of the most amazing photos including wooden Power Cat cruisers, a Crosby Baycomber, Hydrodynes, etc. The book was about buying and operating boats, but the literature was rich in what was on the water in 1961. I will try to get a copy made and posted.

I want a Crosby Baycomber, but know of only one. It is about as cool as they came.
