It's kind of hard to tell by the shots but trying to look closer with my old eyeballs I'm guessing that it's an older RadioActive Hobbies hull. Does it happen to be 52" long?
If it is, there are 2 versions of it, the original RadioActive then another outfit bought the molds when they went out of business and redid the bottom.
The clue to me are the little humps on the very rear of the deck.

Its supposed to be bout 46" long and 14" wide. did radio active make good hulls? I love the paint job on the boat.

My dream project, probably end up getting it sooner than later... dont tell my girlfriend...lol Is a Stryker topgun Im definitely gonna get one that boat just looks fast. just gonna take my time with the build...gonna have to LOL

It could still be a RadioActive hull as they did make them in 2 sizes.
Were they a good hull? Do you really want to know?
Not really as they had issues with the bottom warping. Check it with a straightedge to see how good or bad it is. A little bit is OK but a 1/16" or more gap under the ruler could cause handling problems.

thanks for the help Ron, waiting on the boat now hopefully its not warped on the bottom, if so is there a fix? maybe some carbon fiber inside and something on the outside to flatten it out? its got a white bottom so no worries about the paint job at least, right?
