Like this. http://s567.photobucket.com/albums/ss...haler1029/ You have a 16/17 foot hull with aftermarket items. Nothing is original except the hull.

Someone either severly modified that transom area or its a knock off. Not really sure. Maybe an expert will chime in. Scott 1974 21' Revenge w Mercury 200 ProXS V8
