Default identify this hull?

Hey guys, anyone know who makes this hull? I can't find one that looks the same. It measures 43" long.

Thanks, Rich

Yes! I googled Areomarine Challenger & sure enough that's what it is.  You must really know your boats.

Thanks!

Not an Aeromarine Challenger
That hull is a copy from Performance International.
I can tell by the louvers on the hatch cover. A/M never offered the louvers.
I've rigged a few of those hulls. Great play boat. Good race boat in the stock class.

It's a Aeromarine according to the r/c boat club guys, they took a look at it today & they seem pretty certain about it. I looked at the PI boat & it looks a little different to me.

Want to know for yourself? Look inside the hull and 'glassed into the bottom should be a label imbedded in there with a hand-written number. Not all Aeromarine's have this as I had one hull that I got from Remy himself that didn't have one.
First glance says Aeromarine but I'm not that familiar with PI's hulls that much.

I have to disagree with you Nathan - My 43" Aeromarine Challenger has 2 vents in the hatch - http://imageevent.com/justaddwata/morerc/info/airvents

There may be another version that PI copied but the PI Fountain I have I believe to be a little longer, has 4 vents in the hatch, and an overhanging transom.
