Looks like the Turnagy cobra / tiapan hull, as others on the HK website have mentioned.
They said that the hull hops like crazy without trim tabs and turn fins. This version has that at least.

I found some info here:

That boat looks sick. What kinda speeds do they run stock?

paulreedsmith,
Make a vid! Im considering the dagger (Hull Length: 387mm), or a larger brother, the Gladiator (Hull Length: 440mm)

Im curious about these 2 different hull designs. the Gladiator is a single step. It also doesn't come with trim tabs. They may not be necessary because of the step?
