I need help identifying this boat

[goose]

Hi all, I need help identifying this boat. Got it as a project, but don't want to work on her until I know what she is. I'd rather try and have replacement parts that fit the age and style of boat.
I have a gut feeling its a swiftcraft ski boat, but i want your opinion.. thank you.

Welcome to the Forum Goose.
I cannot offer any suggestions re the manufacturer of your boat, but she looks nice - is she about 16' long?
It looks like a mould was taken off a classic lapstrake speedboat, and then this was used to build your boat.
Could you find a hull identification number engraved (or maybe riveted) to the transom, usually on the starboard side?

You could also try asking your question on the Fibreglassics Forum -

Welcome to the forums;

As bajan said, first get your HIN. The HIN is found on a metal or plastic plate, typically on the transom of the boat, usually on the right starboard (right) side of the transom within two inches of the top of transom, gunwale, or hull/deck joint, whichever is lowest. On vessels without transoms, or impractical to use transoms, the HIN is usually affixed to the starboard (right) outboard side of hull, aft, within one foot of the stern and within two inches of the top of the hull side, gunwale or hull/deck joint, whichever is lowest. (These very specific locations are used because it folds into the stability and load assesment)

Note: All boats manufactured or imported on or after November 1, 1972, must bear a HIN, and this HIN must be identified during boat registration. Vessels manufactured or imported before 1972 are EXEMPT because they often do not have a HIN.

EDIT: Sorry, just noticed you are in Oz...

But seeing it has a fishing ID (i.e. its a commercial vessel) that may not help. You might have to go looking via the fisheries number.
