boat history and builder

hi
I am new to this but I have an 8m rib. quite an unusual boat as I found it in a friends shed! I will list the basic spec below as I want to try find out who built it
It is marine aluminium construction
it has quite a flat bottom (not a deep V)
it has a yanmar diesel inboard (seemingly a large one guessed around 400hp).
its driven by an Italian built jet drive system
the tubes are attached to the boat by sliding the actually buoyancy tube into an outer cover which is slide into the boat from the front (sorry for the bad description)
the console is at the back with engine just in front and then a big deck area.
the A frame is seriously chunky along with the construction of the whole boat.

if anyone has an idea of who might have made such a boat I would love to know.
someone suggested ocean dynamics but the tubes are not stuck to the boat like OD seem to be.

thanks

Welcome to the forum.

Pic's would help.

As it is built from aluminium, my guess is that it could be a one off.

Most ‘large’ builders will leave a data plate on the transom. As said pictures tell a thousand words [emoji4]
