    Tony,

    Call John Riddle at Riddle Boat Works in Lorain, OH. His telephone number is 440-949-2999. You can also reach him through his website at www.riddleboatworks.com. I don't know how much tooling experience he has, but he certainly is a good boatbuilder. Tell him I sent you.

    Eric

    Tony,

    Will these molds work out for you?

    If need be, you can always add an insert to make it a flat-bottom...
    The deck would be perfect for hunting...

    Here are some pics of the boats:

    Tony,
    if your interested in building your own mold, you can find some information about mold and plug building at www.FibreGlast.com if you decide to build your own i HIGHLY suggest using a CAD drafting program for designing a hull, (i use AutoCad,ProE7, And MaxSurf) i hope that helped!
