Is it possible to calculate the flight path past a boat of an aeroplane based on the following information?

The plane was a prop plane which can be heard at 88 dB at 1000 ft. The plane was cruising at 149.6 mph at 10,000 ft. The plane was heard for 1 minute. The plane was heard off the starboard quarter off the boat.

Thanks
