Default Fun Cat or what ????

Can someone tell me what this boat is? Some say Vengence Fun Cat till they look at the transom. It has a completly extended or notched or something weird going on with little fixed tabs. There is no parting seam across the transom, like its added on or something.Nobody near me has a clue and there is no name on the boat. It is an 1985 as per the metal plate glued to the inside of the well. this plate also says its NJ Safety Certified and has a HULL Number stamped into it. It has a 75 HP Suzuki on it so it must move pretty good for a little boat.

Thanks Anthony

Fun cats have steps. Can't see them in pic. Are they there?
Dash or cockpit pics would help.

Fun Cats were built in NJ. The ferring looks right but but the deck looks a little off to me. It might be the black paint on the sponsons. I'm looking for pics of mine to compare but I'd say there is a good chance it's a Fun Cat. I sold mine to with a Johnson v4 90/115. It's on lake Hopatcong.

I still want that 16 Fiotch you looked at for me up there Anthony. Wonder what happend to that.

Anyone else have any info? Its registered thru NJ as a homebuilt, I know it started out as a fun cat. I found many pictures on other site of the construction of the fun cats and it matches this one perfectly. Just dont know why this transom is different.
