    i own a the moulds for a 16' small fishing boat. the question is Can i make the hull wider and slightly longer, without messing up the way it performs? I think it will make it more stable, or maybe am wrong....

    Dimensions

    What is the present width.
    Is it a split mould? Then you can keep it apart at center and add with in the middle in full length.The ends are to be shaped.

    Anyone have a 15ft or 16 ft bay boat mold? Should I try to track down a mold or build my own?
