    can anyone ID this vessel, sorry for poor quality, but the only picture I have. Taken in the 1960's? in Miami Beach. Even a builder would help.

    This won't be much help, but something looks very wrong about the back part of the house. The hull looks familiar though. I'd guess it was some sort of conversion.

    The name "ELCO" springs to mind

    Looks like it came out of Annapolis

    I don't think so. Not a Trumpy or an Annapolis.

    I agree with Lars. Likely a Feadship, perhaps Gladys II after much custom work over the years. See photos below, all reportedly are of "Gladys II" in different times, the last 2 are most recent.

    I don't think it's Gladyss, the port holes are wrong (too many, not in the right spots). Also the front deck windows are wrong. The boat does look very familiar, but I don't think it's a feadship. Possibly a Matthews or something along those lines.......Also, the lines of the boat in the first picture, definately look like a wood boat and not steel.

    Maybe, but portholes can be changed. Looking at this old picture of Gladys, the portholes seems to be as on the pictured boat.
