These are very popular boats and a quick google search will get you all kinds of pictures. There are several that have been restored here. The search feature is your friend.

I would guess that the side navigation lights were used in place of the forward nav lamp to make room for an anchor pulley or winch?
The boat doesn't really look like a Starcraft, the windshield is a two panel unit, with top wipers, the bow breast plate or upper keel looks more angular than a Starcraft and the spray rail doesn't continue the full length of the hull

Where is that boat from? USA or other?

if it's a 1973 or newer and built in the usa it'll have a hin on it somewhere. starboard side of the transom is most likely location. the hin will for sure let ya know who the mfg. is..

Although similar, I do not believe that to be a Starcraft.

I have a 57 and 77 Crestliner with those side lights that I were installed by me.
Likely the same for yours.Disregarding the spray rails it still doesn't look right for a Starcraft.You might look at fiberglassics.com many boat catalogs some with aluminum models.

As far as the spray rails the 57 Crestliners had at least 2 comepletely different style spray rails. I'm sure other brands had similar styling cue differences.

I doubt it is a Mirror Craft as they were made in the USA and you posted it was Canadian made. They are also welded and have a full splash guard running the length of the boat.

HI MR88 not so sure about that? Mirrocraft has had three name changes Mirro Aluminum company for one problem is this boat looks very close to the others but I need to see one like mine to know what kind it is..
