The salon ports are more Seafarer than Bristol. But it appears to be longer than 33'. The Luders looks strong but again only 33'. Is that a teak deck?:yikes:

Sure looks like a Luders 33 and most of them were built before HINs were made mandatory. The roller boom furling along with other features, dates it to 60-70s vintage.

Looks a lot like an older Bristol 40, but the cove stripe is not quite right. I wonder if they changed a some point. Beautiful boat.

The bow pulpit does not match that of the Luders 33. But that could have been changed many moons ago. But I agree on the topside pin stripe. I once found a webpage with manufactures topside pin stripes but cannot find it anymore. I think back then, not only the logo on the sail ID'd a boat, but so did the topside pin stripe.

The topside stripe, old anchor winch, bow pulpit, the tiny transom, everything I can see looks like the Bristol 40 I can match to boats online.

I'm going to say I'm convinced.
Thanks for the input, I couldn't help the curiosity.
