If the hull is smirkless, you are looking at a 1975 hull. This was the first year of production on the Newport model and built on smirkless hulls in White rather than Desert Tan.

For Newport seekers, check the front bucket seats as the frames are tender to begin with and typically take a beating with little protection.

Also, check the side decks and storage compartments as some knuckle-headed fool may have used one for a boarding step and damaged the inner panels and trim.

Good Hunting!!!
