none
It's clearly a Planatec 40'-Shead design with the deck modified.
Maybe the former Ballerina-Macho....

I remember seeing that boat (or one just like it) sitting in Bayonne NJ about 5 years ago at an auto body shop.

That would be a bomb to re-do. I like the diesel outfit and the jets both.

He probably is. But I'm not sure about the Prince of Daubai....

Marco I think you're right - looks very much like a Shead hull.

Looks to have been a tad neglected in recent times - shame. Would make a great boat if it could be readied in time for the Round Britain next year.
