Skiidaho Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Anyone know anything about Brendella boats that were made in the mid 90's? I recently purchased a boat and the owner said it is was made when Brendella and MasterCraft were making boats together. He claimed the hull is a MC and the top is Brendella. Consequently, the boat doesn't have a visible brand anywhere on the exterior. Does anyone know if this is true or have any additional info on these 90's Brendella boats? I'm not all that concerned about it, I took the boat out and it drives and skis like a dream. Drastic improvement from trying to slalom behind a wakesetter?. Just more curious than anything else.

Baller LoopSki Posted August 16, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 16, 2020 Lol, they didn’t build boats together ! The early Brendellas late 80’s were supposedly splashed hull of an 85 Mastercraft. By 1997 I doubt there was any resemblance to a Mastercraft hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LoopSki Posted August 16, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 16, 2020 Not sure on the year but apparently Mike got himself in a pickle and brendellas were re branded and sold as brand ex. Later on became Calabria. Mike came back on the scene with MB Sports. It’s all the verified info I read in the enquirer! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Hallpass Posted August 17, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 17, 2020 What's the hull ID Number? It should be stamped into the fiberglass on the back of the boat. That will tell you exactly what it is. US Coast Guard manufacturer's list here: https://uscgboating.org/content/manufacturers-identification.php .

Baller skimtb Posted August 17, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 17, 2020 MB Company made a boat in the 90’s or maybe 2000’s that looks a lot like the 91-94 190 hull bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MDB1056 Posted August 17, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 17, 2020 Yes post the hull ID and pictures please. It must be branded somewhere. No title requirements in your state or registration doesn’t show mfg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Jordan Posted August 17, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 17, 2020 The hull id number won't tell you if a manufacturer copied another manufacturer's hull. My recollection is similar to what @skimtb posted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
