It sort of causes one to focus on that oddity rather than the boats characteristics. Here is another photo showing a logo that I can't read. Maybe someone will recognize its shape.

I'm not saying that's what it is, but maybe somebody added the superstructure or did a splash of the hull? Sure is neat-looking, and a little like the '53 Ladd posted.

Mystery Boat question answered. It is a 1966 Orlando Clipper. The model which is listed on the Clipper page on FG is a Tri-Clipper. Below are pictures of its Logo. A picture of another boat of the same model in one of the original color combinations.

Thanks to those who commented. And Thanks for the welcoming to the site!
