Need help, I can't identify this beauty.

Hey Gang!
A fellow on an FB page needs help identifying this boat. At first I thought it was the Krick "San Diego" Mega Yacht. But now, I think I'm wrong. She has a single prop and rudder. I am starting to thinks she's a scratch build or an r/c converted shelf queen. Any ideas?
PS: The owner says not to be fooled by the Sunseeker Centurion logos.

Yeah,
I saw that post and tried finding an ID as well.
Some come close, but not exact.

So far my collection resembles "The Island of Misfit Toys". I've picked up several boats that are old builds and have been neglected. I'm giving them the TLC they need, hoping to bring them back to their former glory. Once I get enough practice/ experience I intend to take on a full build.

It‘s not a sunseeker. Look at the shape of the cabin my dear swiss friend😂😂

I am pretty sure it's on one-off for the buyer of that yacht. Sunseeker works/worked with two custom model builders too present as gifts to their clients.

I think it looks a lot more (but not exactly) like a Robbe San Diego.
I'm thinking a modified San Diego is likely ....

DW, Krick produces the San Diego now as they own the whole Robbe line. It is a sharp looking boat!
But, I'll stick with the Sunseeker client gift to the owner of the "Centurion." This is in line with Sunseekers corporate dictum of "platinum customer service and client experience."

Probably not Robbe or Graupner, most of their kits use ABS for the hulls, if you look closely you can see the fiberglass weave of the hull. I think she’s a one off, a boat built for a client like Jump said, or it’s an older kit from a boutique manufacturer that may no longer be around, but the kit was built recently and modern equipment installed. That’s my best guess
