Aluminum mast, wood boom... Trying to ID this boat!

Saw an amazing boat today and Im trying to figure out what it was... Aluminum mast, metal boom, VERY similar looking to a Pearson Invicta. Hell it could be an invicta if they did in fact have the wood boom. Anyone know? Stupidly I didnt take pictures. I will get some this week though!

Invictas had a wood boom so did it also have that distinctive cabin shape?? Pretty rare boat.

My vanguard had a monster of a fir boom. I would imagine the invicta, of the same era did as well

The Alberg designed early Pearson's often had wooden booms with aluminum masts. Know the Alberg 35 and Vanguard did and assume it was common on all the boats of the mid '60s vintage from Pearson. Will need more info to identify the boat.

So? Is it an Invicta? Columbia made a similar design around the same time, also pretty rare, I am blanking out on the name right now...
Edit: Columbia Constellation. Btw Hull #2 Invicta seems to be for sale in Miami for 10k. Check yachtworld.
