Please help! What kind of boat is this??
 

Hi,
Sorry first time posting on here but I was told this is the place to go... So
Here goes
I purchased this boat... ( Long story )
But I have no idea what kind of boat this is.
1978... That's pretty much all I know
The vin comes up with nothing... Not sure how that is..
I was told it was built by a company called marine dynamics in San Diego.
I was also told it was used by Penske as a race boat..?? With a 454 twin turbo.
That's about all I know.. And I'm not even sure if that's all true.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you
Damian

Do you have the title? if so should say it on the title.

What is the vin? Is it stamped on the transom, right side up high?

I do have the vin ( yes top right rear of the boat ) mdb280011878
The title says marine dynamics
( the company that made the boat )

mdb comes up as

Thank you! That's a great lead I will contact them on Monday

the one that actually used mdb (mini craft) was only in biz from 1993-2014 so not the time frame of a '78 boat. the marine dynamics in NY was around from 1979 to 1990 so they may be the best shot. it is possible that there was another that is no longer listed and was using mdb but they dont often reuse designations. it is also possible that they moved or changed locations and boat types, etc and reorganized under different co. name. etc.

if all else fails contact the coast guard at
http://www.uscgboating.org/content/contact.php
to see if they can help confirm it.

Again thank you for your help.
Have you ever seen a boat that looks like this one?

Interesting looking boat. Any pics of the cockpit, interior, engine
