The Gullywhumper (two windows per side) and the Bertha Mae (three windows per side). The other key spotting features were turned balustrades on the upper deck of the Bertha Mae.<br /><br />Great shots of both of them, Dave. I'm all a-twitter about these vessels because I just got a full set of blueprints for them and am eager to make models of them. Of course, these are back-burner models and may never see the light of day, but who knows.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819318798840978404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-21482546820105014282015-02-12T15:28:56.305-08:002015-02-12T15:28:56.305-08:00Until now I had NEVER even considered the motivati...Until now I had NEVER even considered the motivation and similarity between the original Plantation House and the structure inside the Blue Bayou. all these decades of looking at it and I never once did the math.

Now that is the important part of that photo!<br /><br />Call me krazy, but I still miss riding those Mike Fink Keel Boats. Thanks for the jog down memory lane, Dave.K.
