16ft Speedboat Molds for sale.

I have a new boat in the works, and I need to make some room. So I need to sell some molds. This is a 16ft Outboard powered speedboat. Its just over 16ft long, and 86 inches wide. Its rated for a 150 hp motor. The hull mold is an original Checkmate Trimate II mold, they sold it to another company, and I bought it from them. The original deck mold was badly damaged so I designed a new closed bow deck for it. The deck mold has never had a part out of it, and it sat for at least 2 years on the plug, so it was very cured before it was pulled.

Here is a picture of the deck plug.

 

The hull mold has been around since the 70's and is in fair condition. For its age. It has been stored inside for the last 18 years, so the wood is still good, the casters are a very corroded and should be replaced.



I was still cleaning the 18 years of barn debris out of it in this picture.

 

Still a nice finish under the dirt.

 

Now here is something interesting in the hull mold. This is one of two area's that have been modified. It looks like hell, but its really very smooth.

What it is is a small little "hook" that was ground into the mold at some point.

 

This is about as far as I got with the cleanup before it got too cold.

 

The deck mold is a low profile style with a closed bow area.

Here is the deck mold after I brought it in from the barn.

 

The frame the mold sits on is ,I think, about 8 inches too high for comfortable use. And over time in storage the glass I used to join the deck to the frame has broke away and its just sitting on here. I'm going to stack this deck onto the hull and use this frame for something else.

 

Still dirty in this picture, but this is the motor well area. Back when I built the plug the motor well was a bit hard to finish off so I left some areas to be finished when the mold was made. Since it would be easier to finish as a raised area like this.

This area still needs some finishing.

 

The deck mold cleans up nicely, but as I said, its never had a part out of it. It should have a complete flat sanding, and buffing first. There are small bumps in places that were small pits on the plug. If you've worked with building molds, then you know what I'm refering too.

 

Here you go, a lot cleaner, but still smudgy.
