Very cool thread! Thanks for posting the pics and articles! Kind of makes you long for the "good old days" doesn't it?
So many boats...so little time.

Shortly after WWII, lot of boat builders popped from the guys that worked in the aircraft plants and they built aluminum power boats. Feathercraft was on of the largest.

Heres a couple of project boats for you Jerry.
This are pre plywood and batten construction. These are frame and plank with a veneer cover.
You can see the 1" thick planks on the sides.
Guess would be around 1950 ish.
I am pretty sure this one is a very early Mandella, prior to Joe build plywood boats for Rudy and his dad
