Is this a STV hull with Aronow Powerboats sponsorship,
or are boat hulls owned by the same parent company?

...when G.G. was given Aronow Powerboats to run, by the new middle-eastern owners, he was given an open checkbook to operate it & promote it & tool up the many new larger offshore Aronow boats he came up with. even though he/they built no "smaller" boats, like the one pictured above...that was where his background & heart was, so he
"also" sponsored many other types of raceboat classes, kilo boats, products, etc., for promotion of Aronow Powerboats...

..."One" of Gary's new Aronow Powerboats directives was to tool a new triple engine, 2,175 total horsepower, MerCruiser Hi-Performance powered 45 footer, that was a 90 plus mph offshore...

This is the first race photo I've seen showing the new T-3 V6 atop an SSM. I thought that the #6 SSM was introduced at the same time as the T-3?

Nope it started with the same SSM used on the inline
