I think that Sutphen powerboats is the Senior Rick and he is/was building offshore stuff in Cape Coral Florida.
The 16 is built by his son in New Jersey(?).
Two different companies.

That would explain it. Jr. should get his site up and running. It definitely wouldn't hurt his business.

Yes I was very frustrated by their complete lack of response. In the end I'm very happy with my decision to pass. We went and looked it over 3 times and a few pairs of eyes to try to get a feel for it (since info wasn't forthcoming). That particular blue one during the time I looked at it had cracks on the transom to motor well cap area, missing trim pieces, failed seat stays (they were just adhesive, but the goop was all over it), gel coat marring from the rigging hose (from a few shake down runs only), and what really killed it for me, the area's where I could poke my head down into hidden spots were in my uneducated opinion very poor. The back of the dashboard looked and felt like unfinished, raw plywood. Not marine ply (I'm basing this on the fact that it looked rough and I understand marine ply to be sanded both sides). In any event it wasn't sealed, or at least didnt look/feel sealed on the backside.
It's a fun looking boat, but I got the impression that they didn't build it to last, which is ashamed, because for the size, I believe they are asking a relatively high price point (in Canada Port Sandfield wants 35k for a 90hp version with trailer)
Here she is when I saw her. This was before they de-rigged the motor and put on the graphite motor (the white motor sold as a boat show promo I was told).
