What is ball park price for an older but popular mold? Thousands?, 10s of thousands?, 6 figures?

I had an offer out for the 21 daytona and 25 eagle. I really like the 26 eagle but they are keeping that and the 30 eagle FOR SURE.

Jet boat molds are a labor of love. i keep making bad decisions but the 21 daytona is #1 in my book.

Would a 21 Daytona be able to run a 300r? Is the 300r light enough?

Depends on the mold and the seller.
I wouldn’t give 10 for the 21.
I’d give it for the 19 I think. Nostalgic purposes.
Even knowing it needs some tuning.

6 figures could build you a brand new mold.
There was a 21 Edge tunnel at the big E within the last couple weeks.

That’s one I’d consider splashing a bottom off of if I were the E.
It’s not really stealing if it was an Eliminator to begin with, right?🤷‍♂️

That boat with a 300-400 ob, would haul the mail, and seat 6-8 comfortably. A few more if they were hot😂

I want to say I saw the molds at Eliminator just the other day? Last week?
I guess they could have been the 21 molds.

I’ll add some boating (industry) content here rather than goating. To lighten the mood.
Still threadcrapping to some degree.


I saw, in the Eliminator yard, the 220 Eagle molds, 230, 26 and 28 Eagle molds too.
I want to say the 30 is still there???

They say they don’t want to make em, but they keep those molds around.

I think someone determined to have one could. Would it be cheap? No.
But at this point it would be kinda cool to see a V bottom come out of the shop.
sorry for the thread crap, but v's are making a comeback...…...I've done 5 already this year

crap over......

edit: not including the mamoth

Doesn’t Kevin at kmg boats have the 21 edge molds? Cool river boat

I was probably 9 years old when my dad took my to see bob and the edge open bow jet in the showroom. I crawled under the boat and the interior guys had put a screw threw the bottom under the bow.

Old man got upset said no deal. Ordered a 207 skier open bow jet instead

Cool boat. 21 Daytona still the coolest
28 eagle they built a million of those

Eagles have the worst swimstep. It is almost unusable.

Wouldn't the 19' mold be a good choice to have with all the lower river interest now days?????

Hey negative Nancy. Nothing gator step and swimstep extension can’t fix
Negative angle of step is lame but fixable if the vee bottom market comes back.

270 hallett is my favorite. Hard to beat used vs new pricing on Vee

I know them both well. I just seem to recall several post's on here lately about quicker boats for the lower river. Tommy Papp was a very good friend of mine. I did a lot of sterndrive work for him.

True statement. An extension would be awesome.

I respectfully disagree.
A 19 Daytona, Cheyenne, with an outboard would be a killer lower river ride.
Sure it works best as a jet/straight line runner, but they will turn with an outboard.
Not turn like a Stoker turn, but it will turn.
It’s a small cockpit in jet form.
With an outboard you could run a real rear bench and back to back buckets and seat the family.
And still have room for a small cooler!😂

I have seen several 19' Daytona's with an OB and a rear seat. The ones I've seen were squirley at Top End, that could have been in the Set Up OR Driver, BUT MY oh MY these were Bad Boys, and on the Missouri River @ Omaha were "Taking All Comers" and when going home at the end of the day could ask Any Body Else? They got up on plane instantly, very impressive nas as you said did have Leg Room.

Thanks bud. Covid wont stop us as that shit isnt real.

OK Quick notes and im going to line item them so its not to be confused.

1. Betto Ochoa owns the molds. He was the GM at the glass shop (Fibercomposites Joel Casillas ) for many years.
2. They had a falling out. Betto moved next door to the Trailer Shop and purchased that business.
3. Betto is my friend. Works his ass off and has always stayed late with me. I owe him a lot.
4. We build the 242 SKIER, we had a license agreement with Ray who owned the mold and have built 3.
5. Ray sold all the molds to Betto. Now we buy the 242 Hulls from Betto when and if we sell one.
6. New Empire Boats is Betto, I believe they will call it Carrera Boats from now on.
7. The 23 Cat is a 23' WPM BOTTOM and the top deck is pieces of a placecraft/ ao / carrera cat and is in the tooling phase.
8. The 257 Carrera Party Effect hull is out and decked. The fuel tanks are in and it will go to rigging.
9. Betto has moved all the molds into his trailer shop yard- Most of them (Carrera / Aftershock) and many more are still yet to be moved.

Tahiti will continue to build boats next door, I will always help Betto with fuel tanks, rigging and anything I can. He helped me grow the business and is a great wood guy. I will always look out for the best interest.

We continue to work together to make the 242 hull correct for 3 different power options:
JET - in rigging
Inboard - LSA Bravo delivered
300R - Parker bound today.
i would love to see what the cat with the WPM bottom looks like. that is a kickass little hull:D any more details to share on that????

Reread point 1 and 2 from Todd. Guys only have “a falling out” over a woman or money.

Like I said initially, someone didn’t get paid or didn’t get what they paid for. I never said it was fraud or nefarious.
No one got got, My team and I are building stock boats, something no one offers at this time. Let’s not get shit twisted.

Does anyone have the scoop on what the heck is going on with this guy? I keep seeing his stuff pop up on Facebook but it is all very odd. He is using pics of what appear to be Tahiti Boats but he has crossed out the Tahiti badging and even went as far as to place "New Empire" over Tahiti's name in a couple pics. Just a couple weeks ago he posted a sellers permit for Carrera Boats and a live video of what looks like a Shockwave 22 Deck being built.

Anyone else see this being posted or have any information on this guy and his operation?? @Goodtime$

anyone else have questions?

I have always liked the 257 Party Effect since I sat on the one Phebus had. Like a whaler style, but cooler.

To be clear before anything gets misunderstood, Any Lavey Model is built through Chris from LaveyCraft. He and I have a solid working relationship and as on OG in the game I love working with him and learning everything I can. He has been a big help through this process and we look to help him as much as we can!!
