They went out/sold out of business back in the early '90's. I've only just sold an '88 4.2m Manta Craft about 2 months ago. Did us wonders for ages but the low transom was a bit of a problem, and as the family got larger (size wise!) the boat got more unstable so upgraded.

I think that MantaCraft and SeaHunter alloy boats where tied up together for a while.

Various things happened and I think they joined up with the Mayfair Group of companies that also included Clark and a some other brands of boats (including trailers)

I think the Mantacraft in question may be at least 10 years old and there was probably never a web site back in those days !
