On the boat pictured above, I also firmed up the bilges,"(ounder hull, the boat has strate courners, not runded. It ad flotation to)" which also had the effect of increasing planing surface and I was concerned about too much lift at the stern so I didn't increase the planing surface in the extension but had the boat wanted a little more it would've been easy to fair the extension in with the running surface of a hull.
I would not suggest that you firm up the chines on your boat as that will affect the handling.

"ounder hull, the boat has strate courners, not runded." = firm up the chines on your boat

Is that the mould that we see here?

I hope it demolds well...

3 options:

-it demolds well. (not likely)
-it will hardly demold (likely), but you can strip the mold from the product. Luckily the mold is a one-time operation, no need to keep it intact.
-add one layer of polyester and mat to the gelcoat, strip that from the mould, add wax and polish it very carefully, and start with new gelcoat.

Please use mold release as it is intended: polished to a high gloss.

And when experimenting: Test on small panels, not on full size and critical objects.
