Default Rybo Runners

I am desperately searching for anyone that can help me prove U.S. build of my newly acquired 1986 Fisher Marine Tech/Rybo Runner. (awesome platform)

I am trying to get a 'coastwise trade' endorsement from the National Vessel Documentation Center, and they require proof of the vessel being built in the U.S.; an impossible task because FMT is no longer in existence, and no records are to be found.

I am looking for anyone that was an employee at the Rybovich yard during the Fisher ownership (1986 specifically), and would be able to provide an affidavit (as per the NVDC req's) that states knowledge of my boat a being built in the US.

Even better if anyone knows how to track down the original mfg.'s records...but I know that is a long shot.

I will discuss details further with serious leads; please contact me at
donk@thefishtank.cc



Quack, thanks for the leads so far!

Mike R can say your boat was built in US can't he.

He says he was fairly disassociated from FMT at that point; and although he offered to state it was finished in the Rybovich yard, he could not be able to be any more specific.

I rec'd a PM from someone who can help...for which I am grateful.
You have been very helpful thoughout my ordeal as well, QQ! and the offshore offer to you stands!

Don
