Help to find out the boat Model

She looks a bit like a ProLine, re the elliptical windows in the cabin.

Hopefully the HIN is still intact - as PAR has mentioned, this should tell you a lot, including initial letters to give a clue as to who the Builder is, and the last two digits giving the year of manufacture. You should be able to find this HIN on (usually) the starboard side of the transom.
 
Guys, there is no serial plate on the boat. Nothing. I searched all over it.
We just have to find out. But thank you anyway!!!
 
Usually the HIN will be engraved into the fibreglass on the transom - it might be below the hull / deck joint.

Edit - has she been re-painted at some stage? If so, then maybe they added fairing filler that obscured the HIN.
 
I don't think this is in the US... Is the HIN standardized globally?
 
It is now but it depends on how old the boat is and where it was built. IF it was built in North America or Europe after the 90's then the HIN rules apply. If North America (US and Canada) it goes back to the 70's.
 
Yeah. Boat is in Abu Dhabi. Well owner didn't bring registration card and any documents to show. However he said that in the registration card there is nothing mentioned about the boat brand and model. I can believe, because UAE coast guard doesn't care too much about original documents. It it very easy to register the boat here. Owner said that boat was built in 2005. Which is very strange. It doesn't look to me as 2005, kind of old design.
 
Sounds like it's really easy to steal a boat and get it re-registered as whatever you'd like in Dubai. Everything about this boat sounds suspicious. The first thing I'd do is pull every hatch and cover and look inside the boat for the second HIN number, which will be imbosed on a structural member. I'd also poke around the usual location for the HIN on the transom and see if some body filler will pop off.

Well, not so easy because of immigration law. Since 80% of population are expats, the punishment is - deportation and life ban.
 
It could be a copy or a generic design by a small builder. If the papers are legal and the boat looks OK, what difference does it make?

I think you will find this is a pre 2000 model looking at the windshield
