What companies made wooden speed boats (not sailboats or yaughts) in the 1950s in California?

Or does anyone know how I could find this out?

1. Chris-Craft was making wooden speedboats in California through that time. One famous one was the Comet.

3. I think what you are referring to is 'Runabouts'. This company specializes in them, http://www.angelfire.com/ky/sgkwoodenboat/index.html This web page lists three with photos. You can also contact them for more specific information, Good Luck!!
