I spy with my little eye, something with two hulls and daggerboards... any idea about what this cat is?? It has really big fold out trap seats?
My local connection spied these in the woods neglected and thought it was of interest for my next project boat. Thoughts? Looks fast. Once I identify it, I can price it and knock on door with a price in mind if they want to sell. Thanks everyone.

Nope its a 21SE. The Tiger has different daggers.

I agree, best guess is 21SE with custom wings.

The style of centerboard and the tied on attachment of the tramp to the front crossbar are the giveaways.

By the way, those wings are enormous and not stock - God help you if you ever stick one of those into a wave or capsize with them extended. My guess would be the boat was used for some long distance sailing and perhaps has a mechanism to raise the leeward wing underway to prevent it hitting waves.

Is the 21SE a Hobie product? Yeah, I thought about the wings in the water as well. Not my style at all. They are huge.
I'm of the current impression that the owner passed young, (50's) and the family has no interest and lets it grow into the woods. Got to see if I can change this state of affairs and give it a little love.

If for nothing more than the parts... Masts are gold!
