Schuster 1/2 owned Tahiti with his brother, Schuster started TIKI while still at and with Tahiti, Lawsuit, Schuster left Tahiti and started Hawaiian.
I know this because I own a "TIKI", built on "TAHITI" property. Bought it direct from Schuster, watched it being built and drove if off the "TAHITI" plant.

BTW Hawaiian is still in business as of late 1999 loacated in Corona, CA. Jerry, I believe runs the show and is still in contact with Schuster. He took pictures of my boat in 99 and said Schuster would be happy to see them.
Just read OLDRIGGERS post he is spot on, damn I'm getting old, forgot all about BELL INDUSTRIES.
