There was another one on the east coast sans FB a number of years ago. It too looked like a larger better looking boat. The 32GB FB looks a lot better w the FB on than the 30Wllard FB. Top heavy and "what's that thing sticking up?" It looks almost comical.
A lot of people like Bill11 get used to the looks a FB over the years and find the looks of a boat w/o as strange. Bill, try and think of it as you see it .. not as a modified GB32. If you never saw a person w one arm before they'd look odd to you. If you never saw a car w/o a hood or trunk before they'd look odd or wierd without a hood or trunk. I'd look odd w/o my ears.
Flying bridges were not tacked on the roofs of boats to make them more attractive. They were put there for people to enjoy the open air and the view. They were also put on smaller boats as a big boat feature. They do this day call a boat a FB29 as if the FB was the very essence of the boat. Indeed it has little to do w what the boat is. A marketing thing ... like the new Ford "sports car" (Mustang 1954) that had almost no sports car features.
But the GB32 looks like a bigger, longer and sleeker boat w/o the FB. A camel probably would look better w/o the humps too.
