Here's one for you Glen-L buffs. I was going through some of my old boat magazines the other night and in one particular issue ("TRUE - The Man's Magazine" Boating Yearbook - 1957) I came across a section concerning boat plans and kits. Glen-L was prominently featured along with a photo of the L Dorado.The next magazine I picked up ("Boats" April, 1958) had an ad in the back picturing the same L Dorado, as well as a photo of the Sea Knight test boat. The Sea Knight photo has the same skipper as the pictujre on this web site, but is taken from a different angle. The funny thing is, this is an ad for CULVER CRAFT of Downey, CA. This ad is well layed out, so I don't think this was a composing error...also, two pages later there's an ad for Glen-L with a different L Dorado. Does anyone know the connection? Did Glen buy out Culver? Barry?
Curious,
