   I can't speak for all Sunbird boats but the salt water boats (Neptune) were rebadged as the Hydra-Sport Seahorse series. I don't know for sure, but the Bomb Fishhawk looks a lot like some of the older Seahorse boats.

   Sunbird was an OMC boat brand. Not a top line boat, but I think they are a lot of boat for the money.

   Sunbird was bought out by OMC in the early 90's. OMC stopped building the boat in 1998. They were built in Columbia SC.
