a stretched v20 in disguise?

Thanks for all the input so far, there doesn't seem to be many old cobia boats out there on google images but I'm going to keep digging till I find some history on these boats.

Here's a few more pictures of the hull as she sits on her trailer. I'll take a top down picture of the bow next time I'm on it. There's evidence that the cap was off the boat once before but I have yet to see any signs of the transom being rebuilt. I'm going to get a surveyor in to look her over and get an insurance appraisal in the next month or so once I take care of some much needed cleaning.

I have her ready for the water as far as the mechanical side of things go and took her for a few trips out the mouth of the harbor. It's given a smooth dry ride so far and it handled the 1' - 2' chop in the basin and through the narrows like it was a flat lake. It rode great through the swells of the open ocean but I took it at low speed and didn't venture very far because I'm still working on building trust in the boat and my skills at the helm.

It's a lot of boat for the 5k I have into it so far with the purchase of the boat, new everything (except coupler and winch) that wasn't aluminum for the trailer and the new exhaust manifolds with a full engine tune up.
