Your boat was made in Sanford at the old Cobia plant after Investcorp moved production there from SoFla. You might track-down some old Cobia / Robalo plant workers who still remember building the Aronows on the fishing sites.

Ok, I'll try that...so it being the last boat produced on thunder road was not true

Can't say with 100% certainty because of timing of relocation from NMB to Sanford...

North Miami Boat Company Will Move To Sanford
July 11, 1990
By Jack Snyder of The Sentinel Staff

Aronow Powerboats Inc. of North Miami Beach will relocate to Sanford in September, leasing the 124,000-square-foot manufacturing plant now operated by Cobia Boat Co., an executive of the racing boat manufacturer said Tuesday.

Don Aronow, the company's founder, was an offshore racing champion and boat designer who was mysteriously murdered in Miami in 1987 near his business, USA Racing Team. Last month, after a three-year investigation, police arrested Robert S. Young, a self-described mercenary with prior murder and drug convictions and charged him with Aronow's murder. Young's trial is set for Sept. 17.

Aronow, a New York real estate developer who retired to Miami in 1960, became famous for his powerful speedboats. He designed and built the famous Cigarette racing boat, one of which is owned by President Bush.

Tom Vertin, chief financial officer for Aronow Powerboats, said the company - which owns the right to use Aronow's name - needed expanded manufacturing space and decided to move the operation to Sanford when it found the Cobia plant was available.

Ed Atchely, president of Cobia Boat, said the company wants to consolidate operations at its plant in Vonore, Tenn., and a 100,000-square-foot building it has at Central Florida Regional Airport.

The Tennessee plant - which is closer to Cobia's markets and provides lower shipping costs than Sanford - is operating below capacity and the current downturn in the boat industry has made consolidation necessary, he said.

Most of the Sanford manufacturing activity by Cobia will be transferred to Tennessee, but administration and some custom work will continue to be performed in Central Florida, Atchely said.

Cobia will have about 25 employees at the Sanford airport plant when the shift is completed this year. Atchely said he expects most of 85 employees now at the Silver Lake Drive plant to be hired by Aronow, leaving the operation with about the same number of employees.

Vertin said Aronow will transfer only a few executives from South Florida to Sanford.

The company ''did a lot of homework'' on the move and considered several South Florida locations, Vertin said. However, the availability of the Cobia plant and the proximity of Lake Monroe were key considerations, Vertin added.

''We also found a pretty attractive business climate up there,'' he said.

Aronow Powerboats is owned by InvestCorp International Inc. of New York, an investment company with holdings in a broad variety of businesses.

Perfect! I appreciate the time you put into that. What kind of demand is there for this make. I've seen a couple of the blue thunder boats he built for the military for sale, but being big and slow didnt help the resale
