All I can say is I have put one of Steve's hoods through absolute torture and it still looks like new. I think ALL aftermarket hulls can be said to be "similar" in that they all have a forward pole, nose rocker, and large tray. Certainly a Freak, Rickter, ROK, Matrix, and Vision all have things that make them different and unique. Are people getting ideas from eachother? Sure they are. Each one of these boats have been designed by innovators in the sport and each hull has it's own twists though.
