The shipyard is NOT Rodriguez Group, but Overmarine in Italy ... Rodriguez is its worldwide marketing agent & dealer. Anyway the model is indeed the Mangusta 130... your turn bradonw!

It looks a LOT like a late 60's to early 70's Burger. The length is likely to be near the year it was built. For example, many Burgers in the 1960's were near in size to the model year they were produced. Actually, Broward also built a few boats that were very similar way back in the woody years. Of course.... both builders built similar styles for many years!
Really??? I haven't looked at yachts from this era since I traded in my skateboard for a bicycle, but... here's a 1971 81' Burger. Similar DNA?

I never would have guessed a Bertram! Thanks V-58. Learned something new today. I feel as though I should have known this... my mom was friends with Dick Bertram. He visited us onboard our boat at Bahia Mar many times between 1969 and 1971. Who's going next? I've got an image, if you want me to post it...
Spotted this at Loggerhead Marina in Jupiter. There were only a few of them built, but their hulls went on to support another famous American brand. Oh... and in a very remote way... there's also a Heesen connection here too.
