Maybe because it is no longer a company. The boat could be had for peanuts.

I don't know anything about that boat, but C_SPRAY has a B-28. He took me on a poker run with him and what a blast!!! Check out his site for pics of his boats. There are some real nice shots.

The ride was Awsome, On flat water it was like riding on air, in the rough stuff it was exciting, We ran up on a huge wake once and... lets just say the "wings" are functional :) My back was fine.

my ride was during a poker run so when it was tight and chopopy the boat seemed to dance on top of the wakes.
