Curious - Is anyone that works at today, or is a current owner of OL claiming Eliminator wont give them back?
Or are these claims of "Mold holding/theft" actually from boat owners engaging in hearsay?
I can't really tell who is who under all the screen names.
I would think if OL showed up at Eliminator doorstep with trucks demanding their IP (molds) and didnt get it we'd have all heard about this firsthand, but maybe not.
I would think the lawsuits would be flying and wed be reading about them online.

Jeez Shu.....16-19 molds - thats a lot of molds, sounds like its as expensive to build as a 32.
5 for the hatch?!?!? trying to figure that out just real quick- 1 for a scoop, 1 for the flat part of the hatch, 1 for a brace + 2 more?
Whats the beam?
Innerlined - I would expect that from Ol (and demand that as a client of any of these boats)

Yeah, probably too much $$ to justify the expense given how few have been sold over the years, unless the tooling is a write-down for OL at this time. The classic "throwing good money after bad" proposition ?

Dude you really do your homework....you managed to find the few laps where the SMB was not in the lead.....what you don't know is that Brian Forehand was not able to make it to MC and the guy that Doc had been testing with got sick the day before the race.... Saturday afternoon before the race on Sunday Doc called me and I caught a flight from Va to Chicago...got to MC at 2 am....so when we started the race on Sunday it was the first time Doc and I had ever been in the boat together...so yeah it took us a few laps to get things worked out....by the end of the 2nd race we were about 3/4 lap ahead of the Fountain....congrats on proving Dan wrong
And by the way Brian Forehands shop is not on the Pamlico river....it is in Wilmington Nc....the boat is routinely tested in the ocean

My understanding is OL has been nicely requesting to have the molds returned for about a year and a half. I don't understand why Eliminator is not commenting unless they have something to hide. If they want to keep or make a copy of them, they should be renegotiating with OL to do so, but as it stands now, it's my understanding they are not their molds to keep.
