Help Identifying this Sport 40 Hull??

[Darin Jordan]

Can someone please help me identify what the make of this Sport 40 hull is??

Apparently, it's all wood, 36" x 19"... which sounds very "Dumas"ey to me...

Hum.. cowl (is it glass?) looks like Phil Thomas... Not sure about the rest but dam its close.

Here are some shots the previous owner sent of the bottom...

Well... regardless of what it is, I just bought it, so I guess I'll have to figure out what to do with it now...

Hmmmm... Q-Sport FE conversion, or make it a Sport 40 to race here locally... Hmmmmm....

It almost looks like a modded Dumas U-76 Atlas to me as well. An interior shot would be helpful

I just got a couple more pics...

From what I can tell, it seems to be well built and in pretty good shape.

 

[Hydro Junkie]

Yup, definitely a modded Dumas

Which is another way of saying HEAVY!

We'll see what I have once I get it here. Might end up being another one of those "shots" I take that doesn't work out...

A Blazer marine boat?

Of the suggestions thus far, I'm least fond of the modded Dumas. The others sound intriguing.

Dumas was the only manufacture that used that bottom fuel window...that I know of.

I almost picked it up thinking it was a Phil hull Darrin-

Heck run it ya never know- If you wanna dump it before you convert it F/E , let me know.

If it started off as a Dumas AVL sport 40 hull, it had been heavily modified. The hull in the picture looked a lot wider than a Dumas hull. Furthermore, the boat in the picture has a curved tunnel floor. The Dumas tunnel floor was made of two flat panels.

It's easy to modify a Dumas boat. I took a 20 sized Pak, widened and lightened it so it weighs about 40% less than a stock build

Andy, there is a decent chance that, depending on what this looks like once it hits my workbench, I may make it into a legit Sport 40. District 8 could use another and I'm trying to get a couple of Nitro boats to supplement my FE there, since we only have two FE classes.

Looks a lot like this one to me!!!! I picked this one up for a good price, not sure what to do with it yet

(Matching Dust too)

 

[My Gypsy]

I am with Bert. Looks a lot like a Dave Frank.

Kris,

Your hull is an Steve Muck sport 40. I want to say the name is a "LiL Spartan" or something like that. It should be a fiberglass hull. If it's wood it's a Dave Frank hull.

[Darin Jordan]

Well... whatever mine is.... it's on the way. Looking forward to a first hand look.

. The muck boat I have don't have an air trap like that , it's supposedly the grand prix spartan??? But looks like it could be a decent ride kris.
