hydro ID?

Does anyone recognize this hull? builder?

It looks like it could be a very early Sanger "Alley Cat". Made in California. A friend of mine had a 21 and a 23 and the transom and top decks wear very simular exsept for the pointed nose. Just a thought.

I looked at this "SUCKER" long enough to know I DON'T KNOW...

I do know a Sanger...and this isn't that close...A Sanger tunnel had both runners extended behind the transom and the SANGER WAS A FULL TUNNEL. THIS MOTHER HAS SPONSONS...

I'm guessing it is a ONE OFF, either that or I'm betting they didn't build many... The front sponson's look a little like a 21 foot Eliminator Daytona...

Anyone know where this boat is?

[Jimboat]

Boy! I thought you'd get it for me, Ron. The boat was originally in Ohio. The owner said the company that made it made only 2 of them. Current owner is trying to identify the maker. It is constructed of fiberglass. Serial number is embossed in the transom (CWYTU0960881). Any ideas?
