yea low1000 is right, I worked at a fibreglass boat place for a while, and you have to go to a little more trouble than you guys might think.

on the off chance you could get hold of a mould it would be worthwhile. especially if it was of a vacuum bagged variety where you spray gelcoat onto the mould and then position the various layers of glass on top and finally put the whole thing under vacuum via sealed plastic sheeting or 2nd mould half and infuse the resin. when the resin is finally cured you split the product away from the mould (mould is waxed to allow release) the gelcoat on the product results in a finish like a professional paintjob straight off the mould.

but making a mould would involve hours of messing around with plywood sheeting and sanding back styrofoam, filling and sanding with plaster of paris till its as smooth as a babies butt.. making sure all the angles are correct. rah rah..
