I am Richmond Kennedys daughter. My dad is the builder of Kennedy Kraft boats out of Destin, Fl and Pana Craft airboats out of Lake Panasoffkee, Fl. I've seen questions asked on this forum and I will answer the best to my knowledge. The original Kennedy Kraft boats were last produced in 1972. Pana Craft airboats were last produced in 2000. Any boats after the produce dates, are unauthorized copies.

Welcome to the forum. Over the years there have been several of these boats pop up on here and have been well received.
One of the other boats that seem to have been copied a lot is the Gheenoe. But they diluted their position by allowing others to produce the hull and did not have a patent on them.
The hull manufacturers database shows that Kennedy Kraft Inc started in business on 4/16/81 and ceased operations 6/21/1985 (hull id KNC)- which seem contradictory to your info. Panacraft was in business from 1978-2000.
Since you seem to be concerned about splashing/copies, please post your fathers patent numbers for positive reference so the members can be on the lookout for illegal copies.
