Paper Tiger was business built by "Tiger Boats" for many years and I have owned three. So there is the argument that they stopped production.
Tiger Boats built some but only a few Tiger Sharks, I think less than 30...But they were also home built by a few people. The Paper Tiger was designed as a home build but became so successful that TB started up.

I also want to say that this is not a personal attack or a particularly anti Hobie one. For me it is a general disapointment in business direction. A whole lot of people in the world have had enormous pleasure from what Hobie started.
But it is interesting that the most successful boat is the one he designed for no other reason than that it would be a great sailboat.
