New York lists this as simply "50-foot vessel". I had an old note of a vessel Maroca on the Shinnecock reef, and "Maroca" is clearly spray-painted on the transom of this boat. A mystery solved!
Whether or not Maroca is its real name or just graffiti, I don't know.

Description
A heavy-bodied, laterally compressed minnow with a long dorsal fin and arched back. The first ray of the dorsal and anal fins is a stout, serrated spine. The small triangular head tapers to a blunt snout. The small, protrusible mouth contains no teeth and is located below the snout. There are two pairs of barbels on the upper jaw. Body color is brassy green on top grading to bronze or gold on sides. The belly is yellowish-white. Fins typically are yellow, orange, golden, or light olive in color. The wild type of common carp is completely covered with large, round scales. Mirror carp has a few very large scales scattered over the body and leather carp are virtually scaleless.
