MYSTERY LAUNCH 03-09-2019

The launch on the right is part of the flotilla of pleasure craft welcoming the SS Gothic into Auckland in 1953. Can anyone ID the launch for us? I have also included a close up, taken off the larger photo.

If you extended Maro by a few feet and replaced the cabin design, this could be the result? Maro may have lasted until after 1953 in tram top form however.
