HI I i think you will find the hull was indeed made by SHG MARINE I have some copies of model boats from 1975 77 when it cost £29.90 for the hull. and was designed by world champion Giorgio Merlotti in whose hands it broke the naviga speed record no less than 4 times.SHG claim in their advert in 1975 "the hottest competition racing boat in the world today."It was also used by the british team at Naviga 75 Looks like you have a famous hull over 30 years old hope i have been of help Dave

Biggles and Laserblue are both right, it was sold by Ripmax-SHG and was called SKUAI,  my May 1976 Model Boats magazine says it is 32.5" long and was available at £29.90 "at your model shop"
