My dad had this awesome boat when I was a kid. 40 some years later I found this pic and I have been trying for months to determine what year and model this boat was.
He told me once that it was a '57 but I can't find anything to match it to. What is throwing me is the aft notch in the side windows. Looks more like a Chris Craft to me, but you can clearly see the TROJAN emblem. I had several wonderful memories of riding on this boat. Any help would be appreciated.

It's a lapstrake hull, so it's a sea skiff. It looks like maybe a 1964.

With the lines, windows, and Trojan lettering, it looks older than '64 to me. I agree with the Sea Skiff part (based on my father's '69), but the lines, railings, window frames, potentially opening forward cabin windows ... suggests something older. Without being insulting - the fact that it doesn't look 'classic' Trojan, means it is probably older where they were still looking for their identity.... Once you get to the early / mid 60s, every Trojan made from then to about '74 was clearly related.
