Typically will be left outside and the UV eats them all day long.

They end up on Craigslist as "Cigarette Raceboat Molds".....
I suspect very few get "sold" because the seller would be concerned about replica boats diluting their brand. In the case of a going out of business deal it wouldn't matter but if they were continuing to stay in business then it would be a valid concern. I also think the values wouldn't be real high, after all someone could easily make their own molds splashing a hull.

I asked a custom builder the same question one time. A reputable builder will make a new mold if needed after popping many boats from the same molds. Most high end builders chop the old ones up and destroy them.
