Craig's shop is loaded and I'm almost positive he has all the molds including the very first mold which is a full body hydro - I'm able to use his machine shop equipment when I'm down for the winter. He's got a 60 boat already to run but we didn't get him to the pond to test it before l headed back north. He may connect with Brandon club or Tampa club as he's been to both ponds and met many old friends there. Let me know via pm if anyone wants to contact Craig. He's on here but I'm not sure how often.Don't know if Craig has all of the molds, but he does have the 20 3D Demon molds
Shoot him a PM Craig Daniels on here.. I have spoke to him about the 20 boats
What class, 40 mono ??I'm gonna try and run my 40 Demon with a VAC 45 this year at some races . Should be a blast !
Hi JoeHave you tried to pm Craig? If yes and no reply pm me with your phone number and I'll contact Craig and get the 2 of you together.How can I get in touch with Craig Daniels?
yep, there you go!Buy it, make a mold and vacuum bag a CF version!
"Even though there are some non-legal issues with the bottom now."I set a bunch of IMPBA electric records with Tom's 24" Demon way back in the day. I still have that boat 'in stock'.
I wish I still had the 28" Demon he made me, it would make an awesome 21 SAW mono...

Actually I often think of doing this (fabricating a mold from an existing "shell"- ie. a boat hull, or a canopy, or a part, etc.,..), but have'nt done it enough yet to know how to do it right (guess I have to start somewhere?). I know there are endless how-to YouTube video's and such.
My major questions would be:
1. what type and weight of cloth is best for creating mold (initial lay-up of object)?
2. how many layers are typically required (say for a 30in to 40in mono-hull)?
3. what is a proven type/brand of release agent?
I'm sure there are many other questions, including vacuum-bagging basic's, etc.,...
