With the steering cable pulleys, I suspect either the front deck was modified at some time, maybe shortened and the steering wheel removed, or there could have been a deck with a steering wheel at the middle or rear seat – maybe a double-decked boat. Look along the sides for what may have been mounting holes in the past for decks and for another set of pulleys up farther where the steering wheel would have been. These holes are likely now filled in with screws and nuts, or pop-rivets.
Some of the detail looks like Lund boat, but other details do not. http://www.fiberglassics.com has an aluminum boat section by manufacturer in their “library” . If you want to take the time, to search there, you may stumble on an old brochure with a photo that matches or comes close. A lot of companies have come and gone over the years. You are right that the hull number (or some manufacturers called it a serial number) has to be pre-1972. I’d compare photos closely for the same rear corners and the seat and floor rib details.
