Trouble finding info on Sun Coast

[JimGo]

Hi! We have a lead on a 1970's vintage Sun Coast sloop. She's 25', and for her age, looks to be in decent shape. She would be our first sailboat, and while I realize that old boats have their issues, she's a good way for us to test the waters (no pun intended) as boat owners given the price. Does anyone have any info on this manufacturer? I've searched online and can find some larger boats that seem to be from the same manufacturer (listed as "Suncoast", rather than "Sun Coast"), but can't find anything about the 25's, their manufacturing quality, etc.

Any leads are GREATLY appreciated, as is any other feedback for a prospective first-timer.

Try this..

If you go to sailboatdata.com, you can do various searches for just about any sailboat that was ever made. Searching for anything in the 24-26 foot range that starts with 'sun' doesn't find a 'Sun Coast', but does return results for a Sunbird 25 and Sunrider 25. Both were built in the 70's. Searching for anything that ended with 'Coast' found a South Coast 25, which began production in 1969.

A picture would be very helpful in proper identification..

Cheers,
Brad
