* From this photo of the interior, I believe she is a River Pilot, there are the teak double doors giving access to the wheelhouse.

Regarding date, the Hardy plates on the superstructure are the thick cast brass of later boats, not the earlier thin brass plate. The serial number stamped on the instrument panel plate is 1989. I naively assumed that was the date she was built. My assumption was backed up by the fact that the serial number on the Johnson outboard positively dates that as 1990. Now I think that could be a coincidence.

Any info would be appreciated.
