the canopy is different, the shearline is different, the sides/curves are different, the running surface is different, the tunnel is diffferent. Its a functional design. it doesnt have a "hump" like mti or other unneccesary style additions.

I dont recall any chest pumping, and Mystic only responded to these unwarranted allegations. I know who I would want to do business with as well.

This is crazy you profess to be a neophyte but then post inside details! Look design and build something that someone would Even want to steal then get back too us, you are out of your league here.

What happened with Mystic and Platinum is legaly ok because to call a desing yours you only have to change a 10% of the original desing in wich this case be the lenght and the canopy I gess and maybe a stringer in the bottom of the boat. This right here has passed in boat foerver, 24 Pantera, P&D and others had made the exact same boat in difference to the windshield, resuming Platinum, is to Mystic, as a Corvette 00, is to a Corvette 08

These links may help with the legal aspects of the conversation.

Gov Copyright Office page for Vessels

The copyright office maintains a list of registered vessel designs. The link is at the bottom of the page.

An article from the Journal of Maritime Law Apr 2007

These are purely provided for the legal conversation, I'll leave the moral, ethical or business practice aspects for others to discuss.

Maybe you can answer this for me.
Why did Cintron go from a Platinum to a Mystic???

Post 8 as well.
Look at Dave Callens reply to my post on the first runs in the mystic and the old Tencara. I'd say your wrong and since I was there and saw the runs I'll tell you just like I said back then the boat wasn't right then but came back 2006 real nice.

I was told they are still running the MTI because the mystic was set up as a kilo boat and they are in the transition of making it into a race boat.
