This is a 1994 model 26. Originally, the mast for that model year was a Z spar. Years later, it could have been either a Charleston Spar mast, a Dwyer Aluminum mast or a US Spars mast. This is a replacement mast from someone.
Kenyon Isomat was purchased in the mid 90’s by Z Spar but Z Spar left the country. Masts built by Charleston Spar were actually kKenyon Isomat spars which later became
Sparcraft located in Charlotte, NC.
Z Spar re-emerged as US Spars in Gainesville, FL
Dwyer Aluminum Masts was sold to a new owner.
The sticker on the boom reminds me of a mast sectional drawing from Dwyer; however, the mast sticker says IMI and I cannot figure this one
john, take photos of the boom gooseneck and boom end. In addition, take photos of mast base and top of mast. Post them here and let me check around as the original mast was replaced
