    Hi,

    Does anyone know companies that make molds. I am considering starting up a boat business. I am looking to build a downeaster hull in the 23'-24' range. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Pat

    Most boat builders build their own molds.

    If your boat business can't build your own molds I'm sure you can contact any reputable boat builder to do the work for you.

    Best mold maker on the East Coast is Marine Concepts. They are located in Cape Coral Florida. We use them all the time

    Besides Marine Concepts, Seaglass Technologies in Bristol, RI, also can make molds for you; they are very good. Their website is www.seaglasstech.com. Bill Medeiros is the owner and craftsman. I have been involved in a number of building and tooling projects with him.
