Thanks for the links. The molds are not usable, as they were essentially left out to rot as I understand it. Cheaper and easier to start from scratch. NO funny business or copying happening here.

One suggestion about hiring someone who knows how to build is a good idea. I am not sure how one goes about finding someone who builds molds for a living. Any recommendations on the West Coast US?
Thanks.

The best 'Splasher' of hulls is an outfit from Malta. They race a splash in P1 and are splashing a cigarette ( I think it is a cigarette ) for 'their' new P1 boat.

They are good at splashing, just poor on ethics, and do not have the rights to splash the hulls they do. But they are good at it, which is the question.


They are called Chaldron. ( which is Malteese for Idiot. )
