I think that is a Dawson made here in NJ. They have been around here for 20 years.

I saw a 33 Dawson in Staten Island about 3 years ago. From memory, it had a deep entry with a deep modified vee at the stern. The one I saw had a pair of 300hp diesels, don't rmember which brand. Lot's of room in engine room and awell designed layout all around. It was a new boat and were asking about $375,000.

Not flat Big Vee.... Seems to be a bit light too...
They had to remove to engines to get to tanks out.. Looked bad.

The Dawson boats were produced in South Jersey near the old Pacemaker manufacturing facility. One of my neighbors owned the company when I was growing up.
The hulls were built for Dawson by Dawson and they were a typical shoe box design.
Other then the hull and super structure there was alot of green lumber and plywood in the boats. As I remember they weren't a terrible running boat, but I only rigged 2 and was 18 at the time, so those brain cells aren't exactly reliable.
They weren't particularly overbuilt but then again neither were our beloved 31's after bout the early 70's.
