   Anyone provide any info on said company? I know they were out of Miami, started building in late 70's, closed 2006, started off with 26 and 28', first large vessel (52') was early to mid 90's. I am looking for info on their lay ups (cored?), durability, sea keeping abilities, efficiency.

   I don't know anything about the quality or the build. However, I found an article with some interesting history of Sportfishing boats with a mention of Raleigh Stapleton, who was one of the pioneers.
