anwser is yes, seabird was very popular boat then and many tried to produce similar products. my factory was across the street from them,i built custom 20s-28' the v2o molds were floating around at that time and 2 to 3 sets [copies] were trying to be made. we used to call these popsum boat cos. i built special design v 2os, 24s cuddys, fisherman inboards, tunnel hulls for wildlife dept, up to 28' flybridge sport fishermans. currently have the 1st 28 i built in 1970, bought it back from owner in boston 2 yrs ago. has my personal initials in stbd stringer. send me a photo and can probably tell you more about your boat. richard
