Not a Donzi but what is it?
 

I had posted in another area and didn't receive much traffic so I am trying a repost here.

I picked this hull up and for the life of me, I can't figure out the manufacturer. There are no markings anywhere on the underside of the deck/dash or the transom. It is a full 18' long. Unlike a Donzi, there is no tub in the cockpit area. Also the sheer line drops in the rear too much. Also above the rub rail the glass has a gentle curve. Has a mercruiser cut out for the outdrive and mercruiser shifter. A very heavy, solid hull. There are too many changes for it to be a splash of a Donzi. No ID plate so I assume it is pre 1972 and also has lifting strakes so that puts it in the mid to late 60's. Any help would be greatly appreciated.[IMG]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h2...pswoqfbp1l.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h2...psuo5dhasg.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h2...pspjaoq8aw.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h2...psumfuywqp.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h2...pshplcixy0.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h2...psbdu8v4hc.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h2...pschwkcjtf.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h2...pszehtm0l7.jpg[/IMG]

LOoks like somebody popped a hull of a Donzi 3+2

Scrap ????

Looks like an 18' Sutphen or Formula Jr.?

I emailed Christine at Sutphen and she checked with Richie. It is not one of theirs.

I've searched through so many photos and brochures and web sites and I have had no luck. Does anyone know an old timer that may be able to help?

You try Brownie??

No I didn't. Is that his user name?

Old Four Winns U series?

When did 4winns start the U-series? I thought it was the 1990's
