    Any guesses about make/model of this boat? Image is from south shore of Long Island, NY, 1960s-70s.

    Broken sheer, plumb bow, I would guess around 22'. Where is it?

    This Owens design is obviously not your boat, but she had a lot of similar elements. Might she have been designed in the 1940s?

    Thanks all, and @skaraborgcraft that's a really good spot - if it's not in family of this I'd be surprised! I wonder if this one was one size down.

    In terms of "where is it" I don't know if it still exists. This scan of an old photo was shared by a local.

    What book is this from?
