yes, the hull (bottom) itself is very different from the other, that's why I was'nt 100% sure. But, what makes me think it's a JVS hull, is the way the engine compartment has a wooden sheet laminated into the center of the floor (from transom-to-engine area). They layed-up most all their hulls that way. And the style of the deck (the flange defining the "windshield")? But who know?While the top decks share a similar look, I'm not sure about the hull. The width of mine stays the same almost all the way to the front and it gets deeper at the transom to create lift.
The laminated wood sheet in the hull floor provided additional reinforcement structurally, and a more rigid surface for installation of stuffing box (lamination), strut, and turn-fin.I was thinking someone did that to help cover up the hole for the stuffing box on a subsurface drive during the conversion. However, after learning that they laid their hulls up this way, I am thinking you have discovered the makers of this hull. I appreciate your time and input. The hull is so solid that I believe it deserves at least a second chance at becoming a sport boat. Thanks again
