Has anyone seen this?
According to the 'Evinrude and Johnson Boats' website, this 1964 Johnson Deluxe 17 was owned by 'Ian' from Surrey as of 2 years ago.
Has anyone seen it or know Ian?

Not sure what the designer was thinking.
Bow on, it looks like a cat with a centre pod. Not a performance cat as the two hulls are identical but a cat all the same.

But at the stern it's a standard hard chine.
Stepped hull, semi catamaran, monohull transom?
Help please Adam.

Boy those OMC sterndrives were weird in them days!
I love that drive shaft link thingy they have, that looks exactly like the cogs that drive the twistgrip on a 20 Johnson just were you tilt the handle up.
And the 'washing machine' rubber seal on the transom, with the screw jack on the front of the motor for trim!
