Can Anyone Identify This 1974 17' Boat?

It's One of These Brand Names.
IMP
T-Bird
California
Formula
Wriedt
Reinell

From The New Treasure Hunt Taped June/July 1974 & Aired Fall/Winter 1974.

Did some searching and would not call that a true tri-hull, more a cathedral hull. Some pictures of Thunderbird/Formula hull designs all show larger sponsons. Looks similar to a Chrysler but you know it's not since they have an Evinrude motor alongside of it.
Keep trying and just search cathedral hull design pictures. The IMP might not even come close, some Red Fish people might enlighten you on this.
Sorry couldn't be any help.

I have even seen Lund and I believe Thundercraft had boat hulls that looked like this from the front. Similar in size as well. My 1971 Thunderbird 17’ had the Cathedral hull and was way deeper at the bow for punching bigger water. Even some YarCraft boats had this similar look front and hull. I am just going by looks of your picture and my memory, so that all could be considered worthless. Good luck with your research.
