What exactly are you trying to figure out . Many boat molds were passed around from shop to shop like hookers on pay day . As far as I can tell they just splashed the more popular lake/family boats of the time to "cash in" I assume . Many of their smaller boats look almost excluisvely like the Schusters Tahiti's and Konas .
Jim Rich Recenty aquired a Glencoe Daycruiser to add to his stable as a rescue boat . I SWEAR TO GOD IT'S AS SOLID IF NOT MORE SO THAN MY HALLETT ! IT'S A HUGE FUKIN BEAST OF A FLOATING FIBERGLASS MASS ! Not to mention it is every bit of a Spectra if I've ever seen one. Spectra Spectra Spectra all the way through .
The way I see it , as far as OE boat builders goes , there was only a handfull of them and the hundereds of other builders that popped up in the 70's , copied them or modified them to some degree to make them there own .
Now on to the facts : I've been suckin beers on an empty belly for about 30 minutes :sly: Not to mention I was born in 1979 soooooo........... I wasnt even fukin there ;D
Welcome :D

Give it another 10 year and see how you feel >:D
I spent most of my childhood riding and racing bicycles, skateboards, speed skates, unicycles and crashed most of everything I tried. Then I got a little older and started crashing bigger faster and more expensive toys (race cars, race trucks and motorcycles).
So Omar, I feel your pain and often wonder why does that hurt and then remember It was worth it and wouldn't change a thing (except I would still be racing if I could afford it ;) ).

I sent this to everyone on my staff at work. Maybe it will hold some magic for some people here.
Enjoy:
‘Well, Tom, it sure sounds like you’re busy with your job. I’m sure they pay you well but it’s a shame you have to be away from home and your family so much. Hard to believe a young fellow should have to work sixty or seventy hours a week to make ends meet. It’s too bad you missed your daughter’s dance recital’ he continued. ‘Let me tell you something that has helped me keep my own priorities.’ And that’s when he began to explain his theory of a ‘thousand marbles.’
‘You see, I sat down one day and did a little arithmetic.. The average person lives about seventy-five years. I know, some live more and some live less, but on average, folks live about seventy-five years.’
‘Now then, I multiplied 75 times 52 and I came up with 3900, which is the number of Saturdays that the average person has in their entire lifetime. Now, stick with me, Tom, I’m getting to the important part. It took me until I was fifty-five years old to think about all this in any detail’, he went on, ‘and by that time I had lived through over twenty-eight hundred Saturdays. I got to thinking that if I lived to be seventy-five, I only had about a thousand of them left to enjoy. So I went to a toy store and bought every single marble they had. I ended up having to visit three toy stores to round up 1000 marbles. I took them home and put them inside a large, clear plastic container right here in the shack next to my gear.’
‘Every Saturday since then, I have taken one marble out and thrown it away. I found that by watching the marbles diminish, I focused more on the really important things in life.’
‘There is nothing like watching your time here on this earth run out to help get your priorities straight.’
P.S. If you are still reading this, AND are still Xmas shopping, the Randy Pausch book is an awesome read for teens and adults.

Just a little "factiod" in line with some of whats been said , not all the boats we know and love "roll out" the end of a chute at the end of an individual factory assembly line ;) Joes tooling ,for example was a Job shop in Sun valley run by Joe and his daughter that laid up lots of different boats over the years (maybe some Deavers too?), before they closed the SV shop he was making all my scoops and bucket seats etc , I came very close to buying the molds for the Cole 20' but passed at the last minute due to arduous Coast guard testing requirments Tom
* A couple years back I had in the shop all at once , a Haskell a Bahner and an Eliminator (all late 70's 18 bubble decks) the were Nearly dead nuts identical measurement for measurement ,line fo line ;D I had two boats ,a Hondo and a Dimarco that were so close (down to the Gel colors) that AT times I couldn't tell which was which :screwy:
