Denny, The boat on the left may be the MFG Lapstrake version of the V-20 hull. Both look to have outboards and not sterndrives. I don't think Don Aronow or Jim Winn we producing Formulas, Donzis or Magnums in '61. I think they were drivers along with Bob Hewes. Dick Bertram was in the fray though, but never heard anything about him in the Bay of Pigs sourcing deal though.
LBJ's Gulf of Tonkin Resolution spured on Uniflight and T-Craft for riverine patrol boats. I think Boston Whaler is now built in the old T-Craft factory.
It was all a long time ago. I don't know why I remember stuff like this and can't find my truck keys!!!!
