Sunbirds were built in Columbia, South Carolina. They were good boats but the early ones had problems. They were an entry level boat like Bayliner but built better. They are no longer in business. 1997 I think was the last year. Most came with OMC/Volvo power. That's all I know.

Try posting this in the "Mercruiser, Volvo and OMC I/O or Inboard Engine Problems" forum. The forum you posted this in specifically says "Boat Topics and Questions (NOT ENGINE TOPICS)." I am sure you will get better answers in the correct forum.
