Help identifying my classic wooden cabin cruiser

[bradw26]

Hi - I just picked up an older classic wooded cabin cruiser. It is 30' long and planked with cedar fastened by square head, clinch nails. I've attached a couple of photos and the line drawing that the former owner had. It has similar lines to many classic cruisers but the pilot house appears to be significantly different than anything else I've seen pictures of.

There's currently a temporary structure to protect the cabin and pilot house areas, but the line drawing shows the intended design.

She was named Mi Toi in her last life and her port was Tacoma, WA.

I'm looking for any information, plans, photos, etc as to who made this and what it was fitted out like.

The former owner believes it was built in 1947.

Thanks for your help!

Brad, I am sure that if you were to post these photos on the Boat Design Forum in the USA somebody would instantly know what type of boat she is, and who built her.

I am wondering if she might perhaps be an Elco Marinette?
Here is a link to a slightly smaller Elco, built in 1930.

Thanks Bajansailor. I posted on Boat Design as well...hopefully I can narrow in on the maker and some design info.

That Elco Marinette has some similar features. I'll do some research on them.

Best regards.
