Hello to everybody!

This is not a jetboat but I don't know how to figure out which model and who is manufacturer of it. I have bought this small boat as a project for restoration. And in papers that come with boat is only described that is glass fibre pleasure boat. Length 4.70m by 1.90m
He was registered before in my country (Serbia) and that is not a problem. But I would like to find specifications of manufacturer. Because I would like to know what size of outboard motor is recommended by manufacturer, and how it was looked as new.

If anyone knows answers I would be grateful!
Thanks for your time!

Been doing so searching for the past couple of days. Definitely not something American made, looks more English, European or Italian.
The best I can see so far are down to two companies, both outside the US and not exactly the same hull shape. I will keep looking to see if I can find anything closer.
1. Fletcher Boats
2. Vega Boats

Thanks for the effort. I'm researching myself and the closest I find is Elan gt 070. But also have some differences in the hull and stern.
Searching continues... 😄

So it is a 15' boat. I had a 50 hp mercury on a 15' Boston Whaler. I think it's max hp rating was 70. I have a 115hp Yamaha 2-stroke on an 18' Boston Whaler. Max rating for that boat is 150hp. The Whalers look heavier than your boat. Do you know what year it was built? In our area of the globe, there is a H.I.N. # on the upper right section of the transom. That number will start with 3 letters that identify the manufacturor. The number also includes the hull # and the month and year made.

Is there a reference to a serian number or HIN (hull identification number) in the paperwork? or in the stern of the boat anywhere?
