If it's a 17', it's a Varmint . Check in the for sale listingd here in Hulls Under 20' , you will find pics of one listed by Swamp Boy (David) Rich Martin 018 :thumbsup:

its a 17' with a 225 yamaha v-max hpdi

18 foot Hooker had the Virage ZT bottom
20' Vantage had the Vegas V bottom

The Varmint seems to have had a unique bottom.
