Look familiar?

Not to further speculate about the differences in the SeaCraft and Silverhawk hulls, but I have to chime in. My buddy is a Silverhawk owner, and according to the dealership he purchased his at, the hull is based on the SC 23, but so as not to infringe upon patent and copyright laws, Jersey Marine Industries had to make sure their mold did not touch a SC hull in at least 3 areas (I don't know which 3). This allows JMI to essentially copy the SC hull without any legal ramifications.

Don, this same friend just had to replace the T-top because 3 of the welds broke. On the good side the manufacturer covered it under warranty, on the bad side he had to trailer the boat to NJ to get it fixed. He's picking it up this week.
