Starcraft/Can-Am jetboats?

Does anyone have any info on the Southern California made Starcraft/Can-Am jet boats? I bought one last summer with a BBF and a Berk pump. When I got it home I found a ziplock in the pocket behind the drivers seat with all kinds of reciepts and some original dealer brochure paper work and a powerboat magazine clipping from '79. I guess this boat won some design award from powerboat. Also the boat in the artical was just like mine but a twin turbo BBC version called the turbo carerra. Anyway, aside from the brochure and the artical clipping I can't really find any info on the boats or any info on starcrafts involvment with can-am. If anyone has any info it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Here are some pics, I also included a photo of the serial number in case anyone knows how to get any info from that.

Thanks guys, that is a big help I appreciate it!

the origanal can am boats was started by mike stevens, in sylmar ca. either 76 or 77 ????. don't know what happened after that, maybe starcraft picked it up after that

Yeah, in the brochure I have there is a little write-up about Mike Stevens, I guess at one point He held a world record for "driver of the worlds fastest propeller driven boat, " it ran 206.92 MPH. It was a purple V-drive called "Blood Sweat & Nitro"
