    Hull identification

    Can anyone tell me what hull this is? It also has a small rounded pocket tunnel. It's 16' long and I'm thinking early 90's to 1980's in age.

    Looks like a Kenner. But I don't know if they made them 80's early 90's.

    I thought it was a Kenner too but the longer rake of the bow/wall edge and lack of mid chine doesn't look like most of the Kenner's I have seen. Also I'm not sure but the tunnel I have seen on the Kenners have been squared off. This one is rounded. I really don't know the age I was just guesstimating.

    Okay so this boat was a home build. I picked it up yesterday. It's a very interesting boat. So here is tunnel on a 22' bluewave and here is the tunnel on this home build. I have found several hulls that share similarities but none exact match. The boat is 15'10" long and 5'6" wide at the widest. It doesn't weigh very much and I plan on putting a needed deck and console in it and finishing it out keeping it light weight. I've got a Mercury 75hp I plan on running on it. I think I will start a seperate thread because I have questions on the tunnel design and prop selection.

    Ha! I guess. Someone built it and I'm thinking they molded various features from a couple boats. I'm just going to finish it out.

    That's all I want it for. I have a bunch of shallow flats in my area I could scoot around in this area with. I thought it would make a great shallow water skiff.
