The moulds are still for sale on e-bay.
The seller has posted a few pics taken in 2012. I'll post copies here for prosperity.

Looks like Mad Max meets Kevin Shepherd :shock:

Sure hope someone saves them . It would be tragic if they finished up as land fill.

We should take up collection. Ian have you got room at your house? :D

Moulds are back on Ebay. This time for $300.

It would be good to have the moulds for the hatches to produce spare parts. I'd expect that they are in there.

Could not locate eBay listing maybe I used the wrong search term, but the above came up for free...a Mac 26 knockoff mold . It’s a tragedy that older grp vessels so undervalued but just the way of the world. Maybe some enterprising rotomolding company could buy the mold and make a plastic Investigator

Wonder if his readymade Investigator in parts that was for sale is gone.

Sorry got my moulds and molds confused :oops: here she is.

Still only $8.50 postage too. I may sent my 563 to the Whitsundays and sail her over summer at that postage rate. :shock:

You can also click and collect at Woolworths.....just pick a store.

Seriously I hope someone with a rural property buys them and saves them for posterity. You could probably sell one hatch and make the purchase price back.

I did learn something tonight. Don’t trust yank spellcheck programs/programmes
