making new shaped parts from old designs

I have an old fg boat from years ago. I would like to use the old boat again, but would like to change some of the cosmetic shapes. Is there a resonable way to do this? can I add clay or some workable substance to the boat,shape it the way I like, gelcoat and then have something worth using? what about reshaping in some fashion, then making a mold off of it, and popping a new part to use for myself? thanks a bunch

Are you talking hull or deckhouse, the second is much easier to change then the first.

dutch, it would be the hull. Mainly where the hull attatches to the top deck, not the actual wet running surface.
