    Gillikin,

    Additional photos and a measurement of the hull length would help. The smoked plastic cabin "window" certainly looks like an add on. I sure hope it's not original! The full keel and sheer has me thinking Cape Dory or a similar type, but it's hard to say without more photos. Look very carefully along the hull, outside and in, for letters and numbers stamped in the hull.

    If this boat was built after 1972 it should have a Hull Identification Number on the stern. If there is any papers on this boat the HIN is probably on the papers. Plus that it has a North Carolina registration number on it. North Carolina can probably give you some info on it.

    Looks like there's a name under that black crap - right behind the side window.
