Here are two Signature Marine's, the 38' was Bernie Little's Natural Light, the other was Jim Talbott's 27', AFT-R-U, P-10.

The bow of the Signature 38' look like that of an unidentified boat #13 that appear in the picture on a my old thread.
Only the running strake seem not the same.

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 -
