Anyone ever heard of this boat builder?

EBay link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...80352692667&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123


I am negotiating (or would like to) with the owner but I can find NOTHING on this boat in any of the guides. (NADA, Bucs, etc.) None of them have anything like "Watercraft" as a manufacture. SunRunner doesn't mean much as many manufactures used that as a model.

Anyone?

I took the first 3 letters of the HIN listed on ebay...... I googled USCG MIC which gave me this http://www.uscgboating.org/recalls/mic_database.htm and I just did a copy and paste

Nice looking boat. Clean, nicely appointed and it doesn't show much wear at all. The only thing that stuck me as odd is out of all those photos in the ad (24) not one is of the engine compartment or out drives.

There's a thread on SW about them,

Yahoo owner's group, supposedly the owner has manuals.

Yikes, twin (old volvo's) 4cyl's....you would be better off looking for something of a similar size with twin Merc 4.3L's if you are looking for a more economical cruise....V8's are best obviously because they pack more torque.
