Boat molds...

**Gorilla0178** · 04-10-2019, 08:00 PM

Just curious if anyone has any boat molds to build with. Something fitting for this site. I'm actually considering making a mold with the new project I got. It needs a lot of cosmetic work, but a hull mold wouldn't be too hard. It's a hydrostream vector copy. I know they've been splashed plenty. But I'd love to have a new one I built from a mold. Plus I know a certain person that's redoing a 13 bullet and had mentioned a mold maybe. Just thinking..... There has to be a small market for really well built boats that won't kill the bank.

Please do it

You will get a good response I think

Just don't sell them as Hydrostreams, might wake up the Hydrostream brand owner

I think that if we collectively built molds of Hydrostreams, we will keep these awesome boats around forever

Be great to be able to buy a new Viking in bruiser colors identical to the late 70’s model - such a classic.

There was a guy down in South Louisiana that had a mold he splashed of a vector. It looked great and ran straight and true. Not sure where the molds went.

Well it's a ways off. But defiantly been thinking about pulling a mold off something.

Gorilla,

Do you have a hull now to work as a plug?

Lots of "project" level hulls in Craigslist that can be purchased for only hundreds of dollars to act as a plug

If you don't have one, lemme know which model you want and I will find one for you.

I would love to Pull a mold off My bullet, but prefer a cheap project to prep for a mold them build it and pop a few boats. Not many small performance minis around anymore, a Voodoo or similar mold would be awesome too. Just alot of time and work.

Yes I have a 400$ vector copy. Pics in build up and fiberglass discussion. Lots of blisters on bottom, but heavy build so it should hold its shape. Never been rigged, just rotten and soggy.
