Neitehr have I. The site appears to be aimed more at Europeans than
Americans - no dealer locator and all their shows are in Germany.

I'd be curious where you saw the boat.

Take care.

Frank,

They were purchased in 2002 by Sea Fox. Quality was respectable (I know two
people with older models in IL) before the purchase and if Sea Fox's quality and
price structure is any indication, they are a decent budget boat. Not a bad
thing, but something to keep in mind.

Sea Fox, like Bayliner, seems to underpower their boats to reach a price point.
You can upgrade (if this is a new boat that you are ordering) but there is a
good chance it might not have the power you want as it sits on the showroom floor.

If you are looking at a used boat, follow the usual caveats but make sure there
is a dealer within a reasonable trailering distance should you need non-engine
repairs or warranty work.

Regards,
Dan
