It could be a Tanzer 16. If you look up images for boats on sale, they show the very characteristic treatment of the CB trunk top and thwarts on can see in your picture.
Any boat after the early 70's will have a HIN affixed in multiple places on the hull, and that number contains the date. Given that you can't find your date, I'd put its date before, say, 1971 - and that is independent of which type of boat yours turns out to be.
In comparing notes among owners of the DaySailer we've found that such older boats often have phantasy dates in the paperwork.
If you have sails that go along with this boat, and if those sails have a sail number that actually is the one for this boat, then contacting whatever class association might exist could be a source for some approximate dating.
