Original Armada restoration
I believe this is one of two Swedish built Armada B28s. Original owner found and restored it.

Ocke Mannerfelt Design boats, produced by Armada and Reindl of U.S.
Armada built the Mannerfelt B-28 and B(V)-24 design boats under license for a short period in 1998-2000. Armada was out of Kentucky. They didn't deliver on quality requirements, and early 2001 Reindl took over production. This boat in the article was not made in Sweden according to records, but was an Armada produced boat. Here are a couple of promo videos that was used by Armada to introduce the boats on the American market. Note offshore legend Steve Curtis chatting with Ocke in Britain after the 1998 Cowes racing event.
