New to me is the discovery that on the Bertha Mae Keel Boat at Disneyland the front of the watercraft had what appears to be a hand-painted detail. A closeup from the December 1958 image:
The Gullywhumper had a placard affixed instead of the painted name of its sister-boat, as seen in this June 1964 image:
And while we’re on Keel Boats, here’s one from the Fall of 1956:

Interesting. I don't think I've ever recalled seeing anything on the hull of these, ever. Of course I never specifically looked, either. If someone asked me where their names are, I would have said on both sides of the vessel, at the top.
Not sure why I prefer photos of the Gullywhumper like this with only two doors per side. It’s probably because I never saw it like this in person.
Dave, this is great. I loved the Keelboats.
Thanks for publishing my little memoir on their page.
