I assume this means Ian's mould has either done a lot of bodies and it tired or is somehow moving as I'd have thought you would all have the same sort of deviations to fill.

That doesn't seem to be the case, can anyone explain that?

I've a boat building mate that pumps out a lot of very nice gel coat finished hulls and all they need is a buff to finish off for delivery to the owners.

I know the moulds have a limited number of times they can be used before surface finish defects start to occur and it becomes more cost effective to build a fresh mould over the amount of rework needed to each new hull.

Though come to think of it the cobra bodies are multiple mouldings aren't they?.
