I would put the styling in the late '70s to early 80's ('75 - '81).
Not really a fan of straight angular lines like that and I don't care for the window layout, but there is something appealing about that particular boat. Maybe it's the vintage look. Kinda reminds me of the 70s designed Mustangs, kinda.

Growing up on the southeast Atlantic coast, the gold standard for ocean power boats was the Hatteras. Purpose built to run the rough inlets and deal with open ocean conditions in all weather. You will notice that the bow sections are large, bouyant, and the shear rises to the bow. Pretty. That's how you deal with 8-10' breaking waves.

There is a trend in mobos where they put a reverse shear on the bow, curving it downward from the cabin and the center of gravity, I'm sure it is attractive to some, but it is a recipe to turn a boat into a submarine :yikes: when you meet big water at speed.

The Hatteras, workhorse of the mid-atlantic. Looks like this one found it's way to New England.

Looks like the photo was snapped at my club (CBYC) guest dock. If you can get me a date I can try to find out from the dockmaster what kind of boat it was
