I am in the process of doing this exact same project right now on a thirty footer. I aquired a mold I intended to use for production and pulled hull number one. I honestly could not believe how far off the bottom was. Funny thing is that I already have a hull in my shop (different brand than the mold) that I used to fabricate the new deck. This hull fits into that mold like a glove. Both boats are now on their back and have the exact same imperfections. It's been near six steady weeks now straightening out what will be the plug for the new mold and you're right, it probably is easier to start from scratch. The good news is that it's nearly there and used this oppertunity to reconfigure and update the bottom. The sad news is that this is a very popular hull and many manufacturers have boats out there with the same jacked up bottom. My customers walk in my shop and are astounded by what it takes to get a boat from paper to finished product using filler and elbow grease. I'll post some pics if ok with Steve1. Don't want to hijack his thread. Better yet, Steve1, if you want to visit I'm right down the street in Pembroke Park. Could always use some advise/constructive critiscism.

Yup,

nice work, amazing how straight the side that is done is compared to the other side. If one of your customers didnt spend half the day Saturday talking boats with you, you may have been done in less that 6 weeks, sorry,
I lost track of time 'til the wife called:sifone::eek:
