This mystery boat is berthed a couple dock down from mine, and every time I go by I admire and puzzle over it.
My first thought was that it was some kind of Pearson/Alberg, but I can't match it to any known hull, and the fact is that the shear line is distinctly un-Alberg-like: very swoopy. It's about 26 feet or so, big cockpit, teak coamings, outboard well. The portlights appear to be not original.
Any ideas, folks?

Looks like an Alberg 22.

If you think it is 26 feet, any chance it is an O'Day Outlaw? It's a Rhodes design from the '60's and looks like it has very similar lines. A bunch more pictures at http://www.sailthetempest.com/Outlaw%20photos.htm . I've always thought it's a pretty sweet looking boat, but never seen one in person.

I'm pretty sure that's the boat. The details of the cockpit coamings, the after-deck and hatch to the motor well, and the radius of the top corners of the cabintop are distinctive. Now I've seen an Outlaw!
Thanks guys.
Just down the dock from this boat, under a full deck cover, I discovered another hidden plastic classic treasure: a quite lovely CD Typhoon Senior.
