Default A mysterious boat...maybe Wellcraft ???

Hello friends! I'm newly registered, from Italy !

I have a big problem...I bought last year a wonderful ( just 4 me ! ) boat that the vendor sold me as a Wellcraft... and told me that is a 240cc or a 24.40cc , with a Mercruiser 5.7 I/O 260hp
But I'm not sure if it's really a Wellcraft, and I don't know anything about the model.
No documents, no information, nothing is written inside the boat, except of a sticky on the lateral side ....that says.."Wellcraft" !! I've searched a lot surfing the web ( past catalogues, Wellcraft site etc etc.. ), but no information....

I've noticed that the hull is similar to V20.....

So, any help will be very appreciated, if anyone can tell me something about this mysterious boat !

Here are some photos.

Best I can tell, it has several combination's of differing hull and floor layout.
The hook along the gunwale is somewhat prevalent for the Scarab Sport but the very open room for the C/C don't look like the Scarab. I'm still trying to figure out the hull.
Nice layout overall.

You've won "Stump The Panel" so far here...damn if I know what it is except it's a real beauty and somebody's done some nice work on it!!...

Suggest you post these pics on www.thehulltruth.com and see if anyone there comes up with it...I think it's one of the Scarab hulls as mentioned above...whatever, it's a helluva nice boat!!...

....I did all the work, it took me several months, but the result is quite good.... :))))

the problem is that I must identify the model to extend navigation limits from 6 to 12 miles...in Italy we need a certification ( maybe will be the same in the States ) and without knowing the exact model we cannot obtain it....

It looks an awful lot like a SEARAY fisherman model from the mid 90's. WELLCRAFT did make a SKIPJACK copy that had a hull like this, but it had a flybridge up top. I see it has a BROVO 2 leg on it, and appears to be a sharp entry to it like a HUNT deep V. Could also be one of the very early NOVA hulls converted over to the center console.

And you're SURE there's no number below the rub rail on the starboard transom...
