Kind of looks like an Excalibur or a 28 Cigarette.
1979 and Don Arronow seems like that would make it a Magnum. But, it doesn't look deep enough to be a Magnum to me.
Good luck. Nice looking boat.

Something about that boat has been posted on OSO before. If I remember correctly, it was an Aronow hull that was sent to Italy.

Nice boat! Try and restore to its original set up and condition. Real classic with the v-drive.

Repost on the cigarette forum. I saw a thread about this exact boat there several weeks ago.
