    Making new dashes for an old Caravelle, should I keep the molds?

    Agreed, there is no market. If you want to end up with a small fortune restoring boats, start with a large fortune to apply towards the boat.

    Bottom paint

    1-part top side paint is only good for a few days under water. Gel is what I would do on the bottom. And then boat wax to wax the hull to keep growth at bay. However if you are going to use a 1-part paint, I would recommend bottom paint (easy to apply, not aesthetically pleasing)

    Using poly resin without glass

    They used to slap gel coat over plywood in the 70s and 80s...... Basically all the rotten boats It's not a good idea Now, cover the plywood with 1.5 oz cloth, make smooth, sand smoother, apply gel, polish. It will last a fair amount longer
