Never heard of the brand.  Good looking float.  There were lots of low production companies laying up hulls over the years and you might not find much info out there.  The main thing is to make sure it is a safe, usable hull and enjoy it.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Its a 20ft. Hull could use some work. Should be able to do a test run at Elsinore in a week or so. Need to do a compression test and see where were at .
