I am not taking offense to anyone or anything. I guess there are just two different trains of thought. If I took the previously mentioned 1993 Mustang GT, and added all the Cobra body parts and accessories....it would still never be a Cobra. Or If you made an exact copy of a Shelby Cobra with the Factory Five kit....its not a Shelby Cobra. To me, he mere fact that Chuck can look at our stencil number and determine what model boat it is should indicate exactly that...what model boat it is. A customized Montauk should be a customized Montauk...not a Eastport. Same with cars....the VIN will tell you what it really is, not what it is hiding behind. When does a customization turn a Montauk into a custom? What if you keep the same layout and change certain wood items to starboard?
