Identification of runabout

Hi All,
I was hoping that someone could help me identify this hull in the attachments.
No one that I have met in the industry seems to have any idea and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm rather familiar with most fiberglass boats which were built in my lifetime. I can't say that I've ever seen anything like your boat.
Although, I can say that has at least 3 characteristics of at least three Australian hulls I can think of.
Initially I felt it may have been fully imported, but I'm tending to rule that out after a closer look.
Good luck with your endeavours.

Geez Pete, YES... now I remember!
The Outboard Well reminds me so much of what I recall was a limited Haines Hunter which raced Offshore in the early 70's. It was called Christine, you may remember it? It had very similar "go fast" stripes in the Well too.
Merry Christmas to both you and Gill.
MERCMAN.
