According to the USGC data base it is a HIERS O/B SERVICE P O BOX 412 NEW ELLENTON SC

likely a small builder there were many in the 70's and this is a 1977 build

That boat has been for sale for a long time,I like it too..

That Countess is a pretty early example of fiberglass boats I guess. Wonder if the deck is solid glass or cored?
