No.
If I'm not mistaken, this boat manufacturer may have shared hull designs with Formula/Thunderbird. I sort of remember something along those lines from the dark recesses of this squash of mine. My memory isn't what it used to be. ::)

I fizzled out huh :'(

CB, you ever heard the story behind Popcraft by Thunderbird?

Even if you have I'm going to tell it anyway since others may have not.

From what I understand, back in the 60's when the fiberglass revolution was taking over, there were several crooked backyard hacks (like Skools and MJ ;D) who would take the most popular hull designs of the time and use them to "pop" a mold in order to begin selling copycat versions. They were able to sell cheaper since they didn't have to create the molds from scratch.

This ticked off the higher-ups at Thunderbird and other big names of the time so they decided to even the score by playing the same game. They started Popcraft which was a line of boats that they made and sold dirt cheap to undercut the crooks that were "popping" thier hulls.

Hence the name Popcraft.

My first boat was a 17' Popcraft by Thunderbird. ;D And it was a pretty tough old boat to be in service from 1968 - 2004 (and possibly still in service). Not to mention I sank it in '02 ::)

Some pix of my old Popcraft named "Cash Money":
