1. The Marketplace Forums can be useful for members who know one another well from forum discussions and offline communications and wish to post boatbuilding tools, drafting tools, molds and tooling, and other professional equipment for sale or trade. However, caution and good judgement should always be used. Especially when considering any business with anyone not already well known to you and trusted, due diligence must be used to confirm details and identity and be sure the transaction is safe before any money or property changes hands. Always use good judgement and perform due dilligence and follow these guidelines.

    I have two hull molds and 3 deck molds. One is a 17' jet or v-drive, about a 19 degree semi v-bottom with an 8" pad, this mold also has a deck mold for an outboard engine. One is a 16' 2 degree flat bottom with the deck mold being for an outboard. Molds are from I think the mid to late 60's. They are of typical of the era california low profile ski boat design. The molds were built by Howard Brown of Howard Custom Boats of Irvine, Ca.We acquired the molds in 1977 from Howard and had them shipped to the Cincinnati,Oh. area. We used the 17' three times, but never used the 16'. Supposedly the 16' was built to test Chrysler outboards.The finished products were very fast, the only O/B we built went about 78 mph with a 175 merc. They were last used by us in 1978 and have been in storage ever sense. Overall condition is very good to excellent. they are on casters but are sitting on a dirt floor in my barn. I am open to offers, I really need the room. they have not been moved in over 30 years and are very heavy.
