RE: copying boats
That story sounds good too! 
No numbers, no label so it must not have been made.
I've already said too much.
There was an issue a while back with some Aeromarine hulls over in England and parts around there where people did question whether or not they were the real deal. JoTiKa Ltd. is the Aeromarine distributor over there and were authorized to make Aeromarine hulls but no numbers, labels or certificates were used in them. The gel-coating looked bad but were pulled from the real molds.

RE: copying boats
I think manufacturers should allow certain molds to be purchased an made with an agreement in place so the initial cost of molds are covered then they could have certain people around the world fabricate tha boats cut out the freight an everyone is happy

Cost of the mould and maybe a small provision for every hull sold, shouldn't be too hard to reach an agreement for established producers.

I believe I am correct in saying that the former Offshore Models did this with the Supercat, he purchased moulds from PPB in Belgium to produce hulls for the US market.

Back to splashes, I won't buy a splashed boat, unless it's an authorized splash. I'll support the guy who made the design, not someone that ripped it off. If there is an agreement to build in another country, I'm all for that as it reduces cost of shipping, but blatant rip offs aren't cool in my book.

Geologists Rock. Do you work in soft or hard rock? I currently work on soft rocks looking for black gold.
