Hello All,
Recently I purchased a 1979 26ft single 454 Offshore. The title says it is a Cobra, but the HIN starts with CBN, which is B&B Racing, bought out by Crusader. This boat has a very narrow beam, and a deep V, and greatly resembles a Martini. I did see that the owner of B&B Racing is Bill and Bob Bowers, who I think also owned Corsa. Can anyone help me find out what kind of boat I now own?!

Although I may not be the best authority and do not have ALL the answers, as the daughter & niece of the two owners of Martini/Corsa, you could say I have some insight most people would never know.
Whatever you would care to know, I'd be glad to help.

We had a 27' Martini in South Louisiana back in the mid 80's. Bought it from the Harley Davidson dealer in Orlando. It had a single big block with TRS drive.
Nice boat and had a lot of fun with it. Sold it and have no record of where it went from here.
