I found this venerable beauty in Hadley Harbor on Cape Cod.  She is a  
wonderfully restored 1930's Elco Cruisette.  This could be the 44-foot  
custom version.  The standard model was 39-feet overall.

Elco boats date to the 1890's and were manufactured up until just  
after WW2. Additional information on the company can be found here:

and pictures of other Elco yachts and one of her sister ships can be
