Default Looking for some ID help

Gentlemen,

I found this old hull in a boat yard in western NY. She is 18' long and very heavily constructed. I have had no luck in figuring out what it is. Below the water line is very similar to a Donzi but above the rub rail proves otherwise. The top deck is not attached to the floor and the motor hatch extends to the cockpit. Also the rear above the rub rail isn't indicative of a Donzi or a splashed hull of one. I have searched the underside of the top deck and transom for any kind of ID markings but have found nothing. She has been painted so don't let the boot stripe be an indicator either. If anyone has an idea of what she is I would really appreciate some feedback.[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

4Winns made some knock off of the Donzi classics.

4Winns would be too new. But thanks for the thought.

That's my backyard in most of the pics The first one is the shop I got it at. LOL It will be a long time before I am ready for a drive for this. I have 3 boats to finish up before this one. I probably won't start this one until September.

I think the Python Vyper was only built in the 90s and it looked different.

It's definitely not a Python.
