Default Mystery boat: can anyone ID it??

Had triple Arnesons hooked to diesels. It's roughly 53' (rather large) and may say somewhere on it "Sea Hawk". This thing look familiar to anyone?

that boat was at Jaguar for the longest time.... then Don O'conner had it (formally w/ Ron Doller) the last time I saw the boat it was on SR 84 across from Sailerman.

Tank - my reference to the title was of my own choosing. He didn't design or build it to my knowledge - but he rigged this one with triple Mercs I think. The VW Rabbit behind the trailer is that of his wife Viv. Will dig out what else I can find as per my PM just now.

Sounds good. But if he didn't build them who did? And was it just the 3 that were built?

Tank are you considering redoing it? It almost looks like a cross between a late 70's early 80's scarab with a cig hull and then makes either of them look like a scale model. That thing has like 6ft of freeboard
