Hey, anyone know who owns the Rogers jet boat hull? Or how I can track it down? Any info would be great. Thanks!

i think what you are asking for is the were abouts of the molds, correct?
1Bahnerjet is correct to the fact that Advantage has the 18'. the 19" and i believe the 21' was sold to a guy that i have not yet found the name of, but i do know he is in no way willing to part with them, nor lease them out. nor does he plan on doing anything with them. (sad, isnt it?) i talked with roger wieman a couple weeks ago and he told me that he too has recently tried to get the molds back or just lease them to make a couple hulls and the guy said no. so if your looking for the possibilty of the 19' TR to come back, im betting youll be waiting a long long time. i dont know how well Advantage has been keeping up the 18' mold nor do i know how meticulous they are about glassing up the hulls like Roger was, but you can still get the 18' hull from Advantage.(not the mold)

Hey Vic, you've been in contact with Roger?
I'd love to have a conversation with him myself.
Maybe you could get him to join the board?

well, i dont think that is going to happen anytime soon. he is old school and not into the computer thing just yet. but his kids are trying to change that. :p
he frequents his local lake in a new to him 21 rogers (finally got one of his old boats).

Yes you got it right. I was looking for the molds. Thank you for the info. Too bad it's what I had guessed (19 & 21 nla). I appreciate you taking the time to fill me in.

no problem, hope it helped. if your looking for a 19' you can spot them every now and then in the papers or online for sale. the 21' is rare to see for sale. good luck.
