Old Tyme Boat Brochure Photos, Amusing attire

This is fun;

I'm working on a filler piece this evening that recounts the history of
the local Bayliner dealer. (The firm just celebrated its 50th
anniversary, although it did not sell Bayliner for some years after it
was founded).

I've got three brochure photos for some really old Bayliner models.
A Mutiny, a Discovery, and a Cornet. These boats are 16, 17 and 19 feet
in length.

Back in the day, models posing in some boat brochure photos were
dressed in business suits! The skipper is dressed in a shirt, jacket,
tie, the whole works. In one photo of the suit and tie boater, his
female passenger is dressed in a business dress and sports a "bee hive"
hairdo. In another photo, two women are out in a boat, and one of them
is wearing a very modest two-piece bathing suit. It was probably
considered "risque" in its era.

Beehives were cool, so were mutton chops.

If you're marketing a go-fast boat these days, two endowed models in
bathing suits is mandatory fare.

Today's models will have the mandatory enhanced personal flotation devices
