Old Engine Towing a Boat

Just thought I?d share this pic some one posted on Facebook

This E32 or E323

I think I remember when E 331 in Cross Bay had a boat similar to that one assigned to the company.  Do not remember E 323 ever having a boat assigned.

Zooming in on my phone the guy on the back tail board has a 32 on his lid

the guy in the boat has a 23 on his lid

Now a days the Satellite have a back up company

Back then (WAY before my time) did Boat Transport Companies have back ups?

I think that photo was in a WNYF and it's E329, although I could be wrong.

Pretty sure it is 329....the boat at 331 was not a towable boat.... 2 boat names i remember were "The Hackett"....& "The Blaze".....    also maybe a third "The Glenn" ?

The Glenn was marine 4 stationed at Fort Totten. When it was disbanded i believe they sold the boat to Waxhington DC right aftef John Glenn was elected to the senate

From another site it?s E329 with the Flame boat and the Blaze was stored behind E331 quarters at dock in rear.
