It is 73.5 inch long, 13.5 inch wide and 8 inch deep. Its main problem besides not knowing what it is, is that the wood planking has dried out and some planks are parting but a good coating of fibreglass resin inside should solve the problem.

The hull reminds me of a Fairmile B. 1/18th scale?

I'd agree that it's an SGB.  It's looks pretty well made.  John Lambert's plans for Gray Goose are excellent, you should be able to build a really great model from this hull.
