Like I said Jerry, 1961 is about time I first remember being around boats. One uncle built a Stevens 18ft with the 392 Hemi, and another (bothers) built a Rayson. Both had outboards prior to that, and they both had Comstock stickers on the engine covers. Its the very first marine shop I remember being in. I got the idea he was almost God like.
That's a cool article. It says it was in Ocean Park, which today really doesn't exist. Its now Santa Monica. It may have always been part of Santa Monica, but it borders Venice, and back then it was more like Venice of the time than Santa Monica. There was an amusement park in the Ocean Park area called Pacific Ocean Park, or P.O.P. In the summer a bunch of us would ride the bus there. For a dollar you could ride almost of the rides there were, as many time as you liked. Some rides you had to pay extra for, but not many. Comstock's was on the way from the bus stop, and of course we would have to check out all the boats that were being fixed there.

Rudy's was the first boat factory I ever saw, and about the same time. I can remember going to Glenwood about that time to pick up a STOCK Ford 406 FE timing cover that had been modified to take a Neovane pump for my uncles Rayson. Cool stuff. Thanks for posting it.
