Gerald,
Don't know exactly what you're suggesting.
Most commercial paddleboat builders have the capacity to build strippers. This is because strip building is capable of producing a wide range of hull shapes and is ideal for the production of ONE-OFF test hulls. If a test hull is found to be satisfactory the hull is duplicated in some more precise industrial way that duplicates the stripper. They do not mold commercial hulls off the stripper test hull. That would give you a hull that is bigger dimensionally than the boat it is molded on.
Also, any good industrial mold maker is capable of producing a mold of any size that is ± .001" in tolerance. For a boat hull you'd only need ±.010" but either of these tolerances is is much closer than you'd ever get building a stripper.
The idea of molding a glass hull off a strip hull has been discussed here before. Don't recall if anyone did it and found it satisfactory.
Sounds risky to me but I've always been overly protective about what I built.
