Any Moldless Composite Designed Amphibians?

[durabol[_2_]]

I was wondering if their are any moldless composite designed
amphibians? I am definitely not an aeronautical engineer and don't
want to try to design something. Some examples of this type of
construction are: Long-EZ, Cozy, Quickie, Q-200, Vari-Eze, Velocity

I know their are some drawbacks to this type of construction: mainly
that the strength to weight is less compared to molded parts, the
surface finish needs a lot of work and it must be stored out of the
sun.

I'm not sure if the Glass Goose was moldless or premolded - it was
kind of a mess anyway, the blunt aft sections of the fuselage shed
vortices into the pusher prop, and produced uncommanded yaws at
cruising speed of 20-30 degrees. Gary Legare was the genius behind
that design.

Hopefully they fixed the aerodynamic problem with vortex generators or
a redesign.

Peter van Dine out of Annapolis designed and built the Merganser:

Look for a photo of a COMPLETELY different amphib also built by Pete.

Air Shark, Seawind, those were definitely pre-molded.
