I'm betting unless you strike up some sort of licensing agreement with the manufacturer(s) in question, it's asking for trouble.
Alternatively, there are several manufacturers that went out of business, and presumably, somebody somewhere owns the name/rights to each of them. A local t-shirt guy up here "bought the rights" to a defunct local dragway and has been printing/selling "nostalgia tees". They were on my must-have list at Christmas.

I a laws wonder about guys painting logos and having them embroidered on stuff. I mean if a guy comes to me and wants fountian on his headrests I have a sop do them up and sew them on. I know that's different than making 20 shirts and selling them, but if you want shirts with you boat name and the logo of the company that made it I see people doing that all the time. They get jackets and what not.... I doubt they are having Carver or Searay making them.

Probably too long. "Hold on I'm going to do something I saw in a cartoon"
About getting sued. I own a carpet store and was making and selling Fountain logo rugs. This was when Fountain was still operating.
I received a nice letter telling me to stop. I did. I sent the last two to Fountain instead of the intended customer. There wasn't any money in it, but It was fun to do. Most went to people on oso. JC

Sppedracer 29 hit it! Already been there. I spoke with several boat manufactuers a couple "out of business" companies as well and and basically if you make the items (shirts, stickers, mugs, whatever) for yourself your fine but once you start selling them they either want a cut, will shut you down (sue you), want to sell you a licensing agreement for them. Really not enough for any profit if you do it legit.
