I am looking at 2000 Cobia deck boat but the manufacturer is no longer in business. How much of a concern should this factor into my decision? I tried to find an owners manual on-line but have been unsuccessful. I emailed the new manufacturer but they said they didn't have records on the older models, pre-acquisition.

Being a 17 year old boat, no problem.

I just bought an old Javelin. I'm not too worried about OMC being out of business.
