Looks close to a Stabi-Craft.  I know those are awesome handling boats. 

Hi Bryan, Stabis are a great boat, probably the most recognised alloy boat out of NZ now?. The earlier ones rode a little hard due to the hull design but I believe that has been addressed now. Aqualite is another brand of pontoon boat, smaller scale a Scott Robinson design  renown as a soft rider..I really like the safety aspect of the pontoon design, CPC rated and used by many coastguard units

Mate I'm originally from Auckland but have been working and living in the Middle East for the last 5 years...now in Dubai..family is from the far nth so used to fish Out of Rangiputa..I really like the extra buoyancy that the pontoons provide..the old 550 was a great boat. The Blackdog cat has got my attention, made in Whangarei..have you seen them?

The guy that built my boat is going to build a blackdog cat copy for himself, he copied mine off a boatbuilder called Watersports. For some reason cats aren't all that popular in NZ compared to Australia.
My mate just bought a 550 kiwi with a merc on the back.
