I have a similar one that I was given a few years ago, I don't know the origin of my hull either. The one I have doesn't have the ride pad on the keel & has a different deck too, it's 42" long.

Is the transom angled? If it is it could be made by Graham Mason. The deck looks like his but I have never seen the cockpit before.

As far as I know Maso is still making them. They are good fast hulls, hard to set up hardware on the angled transom though. If you have access to a good supply of angle alloy the brackets are easy enough to make. Yes they work well with surface drive.

That is a cool looking hull I have not seen a model boat with a keel pad!

Does Graham have a website?

Having that many strakes AND a keel ride pad .... WOW !! A very high lift hull that could handle a BIG heavy engine for sure. A racer tho ... it's not

What i do on an angled transom is i make a wedge from either plywood or hardwood that fits behind the brackets on the rudder,most struts dont need that as they only have the one bolt so you can adjust the strut to get her level .The brackets can stay angled slightly or you can add a wedge if you prefer.The transom on this hull is angled all i did was add a small wedge behind the rudder brackets,you can see in the pics the gap.This was before i added the wedge,sorry dont have a pic of it on.

Haha yea its not actually that long the length to the wide part came in at arround 14",the mufflers about 5" long its dam massive so it makes it look longer than it ireally is.I built that boat for a customer as his first boat,runs 30+ mph not bad for a weedy with not much work done and a stock carb.Should go faster with a walbro carb i know.
