This boat is obviously not a Cigarette, although some former owner wished it was - hence the decals. We got a suggestion it was a Bernico, but no; they claimed it was none of their models.
The four strakes going parallel to the center of the bottom (and thereby turning up towards the top instead of heading for the bow like on traditional american designs) makes me think it could be some European make. The boat is located in Sweden, and noone there seems to know where it came from... !
Any leads are greatly appreciated!

Does it have a title or any paperwork?
What is the length?
What is the HIN? (Hull Identification Number should be stamped on the upper, outer, outer transom somewhere.
To me, it looks like a Super Hawaii. Or perhaps an IMP.

Yes; it has resemblance to a Super Hawaii and an IMP, but the running strakes (four per side) don't match at all...
The hull is approximately 35' in length. it has twin 454 engines, Bravo outdrives and a huge space in front (and on top) of the engines in the engine compartment....

My guess is that it was made on your side of the pond , not in the US . The all black is confusing my eyes though as it hides a lot of lines that may help identify it .
Have you got any helm shots ? Often boats made on that side , even if based on US designs , used Euro hardware like steering systems/wheels , throttle controls and gauges that were different than US domestic stuff . If there is a head in it what brand is it ?
I'll bet that if Lars sees this he'll know . He's a whiz at identifying mystery boats .

The boat has been updated both exterior- and interior-wise, (probably when some previous owner found the 35' Cafe Racer online which has identical graphics), so the a lot of the original gauges and stuff were probably changed. The interior looks like a custom made retrofit...

Yes: one tell-tale is the multi-purpose throttle/shifter controls; I guess no US performance boat from the 1990s or later were equipped with these...
