[B]Just an observation, I've noticed that Howard has his molds sitting outside on the side of his shop. It gets pretty damn hot here in the summer. Moulds shoud be stored in a controlled temperature environment .Moulds suffer only in places with huge temperature fluctuations like the great white north .It's fare to say moulds should be thrown away after certain number of hulls made from it. It's more noticable on larger yachts when a mould is overused BTW ,I would rather find a proven blank hull/deck to work with than start from scratch ,unless you're knowledeable with fiberglass work. Howard Spectra Hondo etc.... used to sell stage I II III kits long time ago ,I'm sure there are still some companies doing that.
