Re: Molds on ebay
 

what is something like that worth?

Re: Molds on ebay
 

Anyone wanna start a boat biz ..Ill handle the models for the catalog :drink:

Re: Molds on ebay
 

Depends on their condition. That deck is fugly, but the patterns are included. The patterns are almost as valuable as the mold. On the market, they would proably go for 30k, but this is ebay and he has a terrible description and no pics. I doubt if he'll get more than his starting bid.

Re: Molds on ebay
 

i will go $1005 then.....

Re: Molds on ebay
 

I was originally told they were a Skater older mold which AT bought, or something like that.

Re: Molds on ebay

Re: Molds on ebay
 

Cord, didn't you buy some molds a while back?

Re: Molds on ebay

Re: Molds on ebay
 

I emailed the guy for more information and he sent me back a email directing me to the ebay add. So I figured that the had put more pictures up. When I opened it up it was the same old add :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Re: Molds on ebay
 

Did you hit that link I put up .. not much info but a few pics .. I like the boat.. Afew tweaks here and there and viola a marketable product :D

Re: Molds on ebay
 

is it a splash of something else or are these origionals?

Re: Molds on ebay
 

is it just me or does that look way wider that 8'10"......

Re: Molds on ebay
 

I dont know ..looks like 8'10 ta me .. Look at the seats gotta be no more than 30 wide ..

Re: Molds on ebay
 

Ok whos got an empty building and 50K im sick of plumbin :D

Re: Molds on ebay
 

I was told that the bottom was the same as a 32' Skater classic.

Re: Molds on ebay
 

Pantera I was looking for pictures of the actuall mold not what it was sapposed to make. If the molds are beat up they could be worthless, if in good shape then they may be very valuable.

I have a good friend in MA that builds boat with the best of everything. I can check with him how much he would charge to make you a hull with quality stuff. I should go over and say hi to him anyhow. Been bussy so I have not had time to run over. He used to be the best foil (America's Cup Boat Keels and Rudders) guy in the world tell everyone started to use CNC machines. This is the boat that he builds.

Re: Molds on ebay
 

If you want to talk to him then let me know I can set up a get together with you. I would also be willing to look at splitting the cost of the molds.

Re: Molds on ebay
 

Why do people bid so early?

Jon

Re: Molds on ebay
 

How old are the molds, and what condition? They do have a lifespan, they're only good for so many times before the hulls start to have imperfection.

Re: Molds on ebay
 

That is true but you can refinish them easily enough.

Re: Molds on ebay
 

I saw 1 A.T. cat when I had my 37 A.T. Pat said it rode great for its size, and actually handled better than he thought for the size boat it was, they didn't sell to many and he was concentrating his efforts on their 37 AVH hull at the time. Jeff

Re: Molds on ebay
 

Do you guys know for sure they are A.T. molds?

Re: Molds on ebay
 

That is the problem as I see it. The guy selling them has not provided any pictures of the molds. They could be full of water and junk for all we know. Hell if I was selling something like that I would go out and for 10 bucks buy a throw away digital camera and put all kinds of pictures up.

Re: Molds on ebay
 

And how many people have owned this mold? How many different named boats did these molds produce? Pantera1 thought it looked like a Chris Cat, witch were awesome cats but that would make them too old and too many owners and too many hulls popped out.

Just my 2-cents (if it matters) :argue:

Re: Molds on ebay
 

Sure did. Still sitting on them. Being unemployed really set that project back on it's heels. Right now, it'll be at least 2, proably 3 years before anything happens. I did get my Coast Guard numbers though. WOI :D

Re: Molds on ebay
 

how many people on here are bidding on them, man they jumped up quickly.

Re: Molds on ebay
 

I bid on them, but got out bid in the last 30 seconds, went for $9100 :( damn I wanted em, I hope edwinally or whatever actually builds a few. A good friend of mine has some 21 and 41 v molds, but I really wanna cat, anyone know of anything else out there?

Re: Molds on ebay
 

9100 .. id think you could buy a bare hull for around that and make a plug ..
Oh then theres the popping issue :D

Re: Molds on ebay
 

Did you actually see the molds? The guy was a totall flake. I emailed him again asking for pictures of the ACTUAL molds and never got them. I hope that who ever won does not get scammed.

Jon

Re: Molds on ebay
 

It would be WAY WAY WAY more then that.

Jon

Re: Molds on ebay
 

I know what you are saying. To make a plug that is worth ripping off, then make the mold that is ready to go would be WAY more then 9 grand. Probably around 30K would be my guess. Remember the mold has to be ULTRA riggid.

Jon

Re: Molds on ebay
 

Ya true .. by the time your done with the mold its $$$ If those molds were ready to wax they were a steal .. Im guessing they were swimming pools :D

Re: Molds on ebay
 

I E-mailed him looking to buy or have him send me just a copy...xerox.... low quaility copy of the plans, I don't want numbers... I just want to see what they look like.... and he never wrote me back.... does anyone know where I can get plans to a "real" boat.... bulkheads hull... everything... I have a few lines drawings I have made on my own... and am not interested in copying someones boat... I just want to make a "real" set of plans for the boat I am currently drawing..... I have access to CAD and all the printing equipment... just need to know what to make it look like so other.... real naval arcitect will know what they are looking at....

Re: Molds on ebay
 

I saw pics of the molds, they didnt look that great, but I think with a little work, I think they could have worked. My friend tried calling pat at active thunder but never got a call back so I think somethings funny too.

Re: Molds on ebay
 

This doesn't make sense. The listing is terrible. The followup is poor. The guy has very little feedback. Yet, people are bidding away. The other mold autions that I've seen never had more than two or three bids on them. What's the difference on this one?

Re: Molds on ebay
 

The people who bid away knew what the molds were. The link was clear and the second page shows the molds. A quick polish and 5 or 6 coats of release wax and they are good to go. I didn't answer phone calls or spend much time on e-mails because I knew they were sold one way or the other. We'll see if the deal goes through. At this point it looks like it though.
