Nick,
The hull is a copy of an Aeromarine 43" Challenger. The Aeromarine Challenger is a very good performing sport hull and responds well to the power of a Stock Zenoah. The Challengers are known to have some handling issues at the high end (the 48" version is terrible when pushing to go more than 45mph) though the 43" is a little more forgiving. The 43 is very maneuverable - similar to a cyclone or razer. They handle light chop reasonably well
I cannot lay claim to how the one your looking at truly works as it is a copy of a boat - but the boat it is copied from is a decent boat
