Hi Gang, An old buddy of mine in northern Mn has just purchased a sailboat that has been sitting in storage for years. We are trying to find out about the company that made it, and nothing seems to be available. The boat is a sloop, 17 feet long, and looks a bit like a Cape Dory Typhoon. Supposedly it was mfg by Bay Runner, and the serial number is: BYN80542M805. I will assume this is hull #42, built in May, 1980. Can anyone shed any light on this? I'd like to help him get it seaworthy again. Thanks, Bones, ____________________________________________________________ Hawaiian Airlines - Official Site Book Non-Stop Travel Online Between Hawaii & 10 West Coast Cities. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/51801db92f40a1db85acest01vuc
Bones, According to the USCG website, the MIC of record for BYN is Bowen Yachts, L.C. 163 Beacon Lane, Tequestea, FL. I don't know if this helps, but it might lead you in a direction. Did the boat come with a title? If so, is that where "Bay Runner" comes from? How about a picture? Maybe that would help someone's memory? Good luck with this project.

Bones, Sorry for the double post......... I just checked the USCG web site for another MIC which I think we are all familiar with......... According to the USCG website, the MIC of record for MMP is VANQUISH BOATS (DBA), PO BOX 1231; Newport, RI. Maybe BYN isn't Bowen Yachts after all? Who ever said you can trust the internet?

Skip, this additional info may help for "BYN": "MIC PREVIOUSLY ASSIGNED TO BAYRUNNER BOATS INC PO BOX 185J WOODBINE NJ 08270 OOB 08/11/76. 06/30/03 OOB PER RNI" My usual go-to source, www.sailboatdata.com, does not identify any builder named "Bayrunner" nor any boat with such a name. Now, for "MMP": "100687-OLD ADDR:935 W 18TH COSTA MESA. 970224 PLACED OOB BASED ON LETTER FROM MR. MONTGOMERY. MONTGOMERY MARINE (RANCHO CORDOVA CA) IB-12/3/1972 OOB-2/24/1997." ---- John Tyner M-15 #412 "Chimpanzee" On 4/30/2013 4:00 PM, wcampion@aol.com wrote:

Bones: you should send Josh Colvin at SMALL CRAFT ADVISOR a description and picture(s) of the boat. would be a great addition to the 'mystery boat' section of the magazine. :: Dave Scobie --- On Tue, 4/30/13, bownez@juno.com <bownez@juno.com> wrote:
