Alsberg anyone?

[Toyotiac]

Is anyone familiar with Alsberg boats and/or Mercury sport jets? Old-timey looks with modern construction, they say. The appear to have moved from Florida to Canada. Thanks in advance.

Here are the molds and a boat all for one money, $85K. http://www.boatmoldtrader.com/new_page_14.htm

They were headquartered in Stuart, Fla.

They had some demo's at the Mount Dora Show 2 years ago, and I took one for a ride.

They offered two HP version's of the Merc Jet Drive.

I thought they were VERY cool, it's too bad they didn't sell better down here, but maybe F-L-A isn't the right market for them. Good riding hull, and pretty dry. Typical jet handling. I thought they had a lot of potential.

what kind of speed did it run with jet drive

[BUIZILLA]

I don't recall whether there was enough transom height, or engine box room, for a V6 IO setup.
