Who makes this boat?

Chris if anyone knows who makes this.  Spotted in South hero Vermont at White's Beach.  Just caught my eye because it looks like it's welded aluminum... Sort of looks like it has the lines and maybe build quality of a Pacific... But it's in a smaller layout and the dual console layout it seems.  I feel like I'm reasonably familiar with most aluminum boat makers but this struck me as different.

Looks to me like a Stanley Mink.

I agree, thanks.  Just went to a marina in grand Isle and saw a boat with similar lines and a similarly shaped badge and it was a Stanley

do you know anything about Stanleys?  I am in the market and blown away by the brand new prices of Pacifics (or One3's)....but also blown away by how crappy the wood interiors on cheaper aluminum boats seem to be (polarkraft/lund).

Stanley seems much more affordable than a Pacific, well suited to my primary lake usage...but more invincible (looking) than a lund/PK.  Cant find much information about them though, reviews specs etc...and not sure the logistics of buying one and bringing to the states.
