I think I finally got an ID on my Grandfathers Boat. Ever heard of a
Waymouth?. An older fishing charter Captain down the Lake from me ID'd
it. Dont know if it's positive, but he swears that's what it is.
Gonna do a google on it, and see if I get a hit.

Can't say I have.
Is it spelled Waymouth or Weymouth? * * * * * * * * * * * *S.

The Brits have a bad habit of misspelling many words.

Possibly, but it wasn't a Brit who revealed the make to me.......

by Nurray McCormack and Associates
I imagine your boat is a lot older than that.

The picture was dated July 1964. I was only 4 then. I think its a 50's
model, but cant find any info yet on the model. Grandad passed in 65
while working on the Wood Wheel for the boat.
My Grandfather was in BOTH wars. A Sargent in WW1 in the Signal
Corps.He was at Vimy Ridge. Those are the fellows that strung the
communication lines from the front back. In WW2, he re-enlisted, but
wasn't given a Combative role. He was promoted to Captain, and was a
Paymaster. He got to ride around in a side-car Harley (or maybe BMW )
motorcycle to the front to pay the boys who were fighting.
Another interesting fact. My Father was a Navigator in WW2 in a
Lancaster Bomber. One day, while taxi-ing to go up, he realized he had
forgotten his Chart Bag. The Pilot, a Mr Poslove, radioed the tower,
and they swung out of the line to circle into the end while my Dad was
rushed in a Harley Side-Car to the Barracks. Dad had to jump out the
side door while the plane was still rolling. The old man told me he
barely had time to get his ass in the sidecar when the guy took off
like a bat-outta-hell across the tarmack to get it. He thought they
must've been doing 70.
Their plane was initially 4th in line. After the fact, it was last in
line. The Pilot was mad as hell, BUT....the first 5 planes never made
it back.
Funny how fate is.
