    BTW, Cooperriders molds are 45 mins from me.
    And in about a month they will be 10 minutes closer and won't have 10ft of weeds with thorns to get through to get to them.

    Here is a list of what these molds made.
    Checkmates from mid to late 1990's:
    Persuader 218/219 Hull
    Persuader 218 Deck (open bow)
    Persuader 219 Deck
    Convincor 216 Hull
    Convincor 216 Deck
    Pulse 185/186 Hull
    Pulse 185 Deck (open bow)
    Pulse 186 Deck
    Pulse 170/171 Hull
    Pulse 170 Deck (open bow)
    Pulse 171 Deck
    Persuader 183 Hull
    Persuader 183 Deck
    Convincor 242 Hull
    Convincor 242 Deck (for standard windshield)
    Convincor 242 Deck (with molded in windshield)
    Convincor 242 floor mold (mostly just for a pattern)

    The hulls have steel reinforced bottoms the rest of the framing is wood.
    Checkmate built extremely thick and heavy molds.
    All need reworked, some might need to be retooled.
    There you go, with a little work enough molds to start a boat company.

    I refinished some old molds once for a customer. Toughest job I ever had. What wasn't blistered from standing water, was either cracked from the sun or warped from being stored improperly. Complete re-gell will most likely be required and a lot of release agent used since it's the 1st pull from the new surface.

    Orange doesn't crack in the sun as fast as the black. I know that for a fact.

    Well it is "tooling" gel. If you had to repair it (I have done some tooling) you would hate it too. It's great for high production.

    So you seem to know so much, why not make a go for it yourself?

    I was just saying it lasts longer in the sun than the black. From watching them over the years.
