It would have to be after the 80's as the boats have bow numbers not metal license plates that they had before and up to at least 89 as I have all my plates hanging here in the office on the walls. My last # was 40516 and that is 89.

My Dad piloted one of these Grummans for Chalk's Airways. (Miami/The Bahamas). He'd be interested in the Air Force markings and that no crew members appearing are in uniform.
(Though he generally has a low opinion of USAF anyway since a USAF P-40 shot down his plane in WW2—in a "friendly-fire" manner).
The USAF markings had me puzzled for a time, but since the USAF "escorts" Russian Tu95 bombers close by New England coastlines, I'd expect they'd have a "sea-rescue" wing. They could even be used along nearby Canadian waters, as Canada does its own "escorts" as well.
The photo dates before modern-day lanyards became popular, as indicated by the boater sitting on the seatback.
