Our boats are Metan Classic Collection not Whaler so as far as trademarks we are not using any trademarks that the boat are Classic Collections.

Patents:There are no patent on their hulls in fact there weren't patent or copy rights on any boat manufactures till 1997. After congress pass the "splashing law of 1997" We took a 60 year old design and made changes to enhance the ride and styling. One other interesting fact is this design and Fisher's design of 1957 both are from a design that is over a 100 years old called a snow sled.

Our concept is to continue to bring back the classic using our 20 years of experience to make them better and of course more beautiful then ever before. No different then what we been doing with our restorations. Metan is current working on plugs for 2 more great classics. Metan Classic Collection will be adding both a Classic Collection 23 center console base on Carl Moesley's original Seacraft design along with a 28 Express base on Ray Hunt's 28 Bertram design. More fun times ahead!
