Sure looks like your boat Scott - a clone. (sheer and such)

Rick, I agree. Need to look at it bit more carefully, but even the strakes seem to line up. Aaron has (or did have) one at his work, would be cool to see them side by side.

I think if you do a search this boat is made by Bayside marine.  Could be wrong but I think my memory serves me well still.

Wow...they look exactly the same, except the Aeon has an extra strake :shock:

Bayside, they were the English couple. Seems like I remember they sold out a year or two back. One of the parts they made was a drop-in casting deck for an AS  22-2...spoke with them when got Miss Marco. The casting deck was just like the Aeon. So joining the dotted lines....could well be a splash of the bottom, with the strakes removed, then four strakes tooled back in before making the mold. Wouldn't be all that difficult in the scheme of things. Must have thought the extra strake would dry out the ride.

Betcha one of the Tampa builders can fill us in.

Those extra outboard strakes look like they run all the way to the stern, and the original strakes look like they've been extended much further aft.  I'd bet that squeezed a few more mph out of the top end with the added lift and reduced drag with less hull in the water when compared to the AS22-2.  Looks like the chine is harder/more reversed too which will make it run drier, but it will be noisier when stalking fish with more hull slap.  Nothing you couldn't do yourself.  Me and dad did the same thing to an old 18' Larson as an experiment several years ago.  The boat picked up 5 mph on the top end, and ran drier.  Didn't cost us an extra $50k though.
