I believe one or two of you SeaCraft guys was working on getting it going but not sure it took off.
Of course very expensive to launch a boat company, but wow, demand for this hull should be huge.

I think I can answer the above questions...
No on patent protection...
Lack of interest and lack of some real capital and time investment.
Not really...50 years ago this was something special...now it is lost in the crowd of step hulls and other hulls that are a variant of Mr. Moeslys original design.
Think of it in car terms...there is hardly a car of 50 years ago(we know which ones might) that can out perform a Toyota Camry...Hell a Camry is faster than the Barracuda Formula S that I had back in 1966...
Of course this is my opinion...there will be others I am sure.
