Does Skater still have the molds that this was created from? Just curious what the back story is. When was it made?

Just got back from the meeting. Had it a week earlier!! First time in ten years it wasn't on the same weekend. Just got motors in the boat Saturday and it's on the road heading West! Looking forward to a great time!!
