A more accurate response is "Todd's boat will be for sale". I love him like a brother but he doesn't get attached to anything if he can make a dollar. At some point the creation has to become more important then the $. -He has to be getting close to the age that it happens- (**boating creates memories with friends and family**, **dollars are pissed away and forgotten**).

...what a resin rich mess that is...

**capteliminator** · 11-17-2020, 01:12 PM

Yeah i agree. Way too saturated. If they know how to hand layup it would be very beneficial to do so in mold making.

I don't think it matters , resin amount on boats matter

That's not quite accurate. Resin rich glass is prone to cracking, boat or mold. I always built my molds x-tra lean.

Take it easy folks it looks like it's only the first maybe second layer of mat...

We always hand laid two layers of mat then chopped the rest, with good build up then bracing everything will be fine.

Mold cracking? must have been one thin mold.

resin infused hulls are not resin rich

Very few doing infusion on large boats, to get everything right is not easy.

So these folks know how to infuse a large boat, but you question if they know how to build a mold
