You mentioned the Bullhead City museum in another thread, was wondering if they have or if you've ever seen one of these. This one is off the front of my grandparents ol '63 caddy that they had when they lived there. It's steel with the front silk screened or painted on I guess, what ever process they did back then. Use to have another one that said "Where the hell is Bullhead City" but I think my cousin has it.

old postcard. Our place was on the right at the first point in the river going up stream across from where Laughlin would later be. We were almost directly across from the cliff/point on the Nevada side.

Thanks, I think. Just had a birthday and my kids took great delight in reminding me of how old I am. I was 5 in that picture.
I'd give anything I own to have that boat back again. It was just about brand new in the picture. My dad bought it from a local guy that was a fireman and built boats on the side. It was a Catalina Conquest, named so because he and his friends raced them to catalina in the annual water ski race.
