Great photos, They bring back many memories of the area.
Many additional period photos are available at mohi.org, the Museum of History and Industry

I think that I would start with other owners of your period boats. Most will have a small collection.
Next, towns that have a maritime heritage, have museums, a call to the curator would help.

They have boxes of photos that still haven't been looked at. Not saying they are from the 40's...but in general they have thousands of photos.

I think the argument for the placement of the logo behind the doors stems in part from the photo of the 44' in Conrad's book. You should have fun comparing that one to yours.

Re: Tango Uniform: Restoration of a 1941 44 Foot Chris Craft
well, laclede i am no cruiser expert so you might want to check with high seas or someone else from the cc rendezvous. The one thing I notice is that the rub rail or whatever it is under the forward portholes goes all the way forward of the port holes on yours but apparently not on the ga. boat.
If the marina doesnt pan out, you might check with the ga. boat registration people to see if they will provide ownership info. the other thought is to contact the acbs local chapter president down there to see if he knows of the boat or of someone who might. good luck. let us know what you find out.
