The bow of the Signature 38' look like that of an unidentified boat #13 that appear in the picture on a my old thread.

Contact Rich Luhrs - or Darren US1 - they have the complete NNRT Library - there were many scenes of your grandfather's boat - and I think some interviews as well - in the 1980s -
