recognize this multihull?

Have a friend that owns this multihull. He is attempting to identify the make/designer/builder from an essentially blank page. His thoughts are it was from the 60-70's. Had been sunk and he salvaged it a number of years ago. It is located SW Florida. He wants to say it is a CSK, but not sure. It measures approx 38x17 with canoe stern. Any ideas? Look familiar?

 

Got any more photos? Hard to tell anything from one photo.

 

Welcome to the Forum Sunstar.

+1 re Steve's request above for more photos - can you ask your friend to send you some more please?

I have tried to enlarge your photo a bit here, but the original was not very large to start off with.

 

From the one photo, I would agree it has a CSK Choy look to it based on the bow shape.

 

Folks a stern shot will tell us more. This looks more a round bilge that an asymmetric hull, and reminds me of a South African build EG a Leopard Catamarans or St Francis. If it has a daggerboard case also will help us identify it.

 

My guess would be a production CSK PolyCon which had symmetrical hulls. About 35 feet?

 

Definitely not a CSK. Nor a PolyCon
That is a Prout. A Quasar or a Snowgoose? The Quasar was about 50' and the Snowgoose (with Canoe stern) was about 37'.
And if not a Prout, it's a St. Francis.

 

Quasar 100% no., Snowgoose 100% no.
Guess: Kelsall?

 

That's a good guess. Maybe a Solaris?

 

I think that the OP @sailingsunstar2 has given up or lost interest in this thread - they have not logged in since the initial post on the 9th June.

 

I'm still here, just life gets in the way. I agree with the prout quasar bows but the rest doesn't look like one to me. I'll get some more pics.. Thanks

 

Here are a couple more pictures. The owner told me he removed the skeg and underslung rudder. He has more recently had pintles and goudgeons made to hang boxes with lifting rudders aft of hull for steering.

 

leeway-prevention devices? If there are none it could be a "Wharram derivative" (stern looks like it-a bit...straight sided "V" hulls?) Prout sterns I saw were all vertical (Snowgoose, Quest)

 

Perhaps a homemade one-off? Look at the depth and volume below the waterline and the front view of the hull topside which looks lumpy. Reminds me of the finish on troweled on cement on chicken wire - do we know the hull material? The bow headstay attachment looks a bit fragile, and not commercial quality. Also, doesn't it look like someone took a massive chunk out of a structural beam to mount that small outboard?
