I think 20 years of producing the same model of my 22' C-Dory must rank up there pretty high. I can think of a couple of companies that have gone out of business but their molds were purchased and production continued under another name. Mitchell Skiffs is one. I bought a 14' skiff a couple years ago that was produced by South Seas from an original Mitchell mold that's been around since the early '60s. I also have a 1978 planning dory produced by Florida Marine Products from an old Mitchell mold. FMP is now out of business but I'd bet the mold is still around somewhere. Not a power boat but, Rhodes 19 has been around, basically unchanged, since the late 1940's. O'day produced them beginning in the late 1950's, and Stuart Marine started producing them in the eary 1980's. They're still one of the most popular one design classes around. The more I think about it, the more I remember. Rick |
