Help Identify This Boat...

[JCNailen]

Can anyone tell me more about this boat? At first I thought it was a Viking, but now not too sure. Yes, it is ugly. Yes, my friends laugh at me. But, I have a specific need for THIS boat. I love it, and I break into a sweat when I see a pic of one. So, please help. I figure from the 1970's? I have found boats similar design to this, but it has to be THIS boat. I need to know Manufacturer and model name. Thanks!

It's from the early 80's … if center console, it might be a Deckette. Otherwise, several others were made that look similar: Viking, Chris Craft, Four Winns, etc.

That one's been modified a little bit to accommodate the judges for a sailing race.
