Hawaiian? I think they were big with open bow jets in the late 1970’s/80’s. They also used that windscreen configuration and bow rails.

I don’t know. Looking again at the pic on my phone, fucking Frontier piece of shit provider is down again, I kinda remember the Lavey having 4 strakes that ran up towards the bow. Maybe @Orange Juice is right, maybe it is a Hawaiian. Fuck me, I owned one of the open bow jets from there and can’t tell from that pic. Entry looks deeper that what I remember the Hawaiian/Omega/Tahiti and the other 50 or so builders that splashed this hull having.

that model was splashed by everyone back in the day. At Hawaiian it was called the ‘Moonraker’, worse name ever. We actually bought one from them, changed the emblems and interior and debuted it at the same show that omega did. We didn’t even have a set of molds yet and the salesmen were taking orders like crazy.
