My dad and I talked things over when we got home and decided Alan Stinson built Allison Boats...Al for Alan ansd Ison for Stinson...About ten years laer I found out my theory was wrong......
I'm pretty sure, MN1 is correct that this is a Stinson tunnel. Go to Facebook, and become a friend of Benny Robertson, and ask him. He'd know.
Doesn't boat number 8 say Alan Stinson Driver??? 201 is Benny in Bobby Thompson's SJ boat.
