Hey DCHindley. Long time.
The only sources are the ones available to us. I am aware of no new discovery about Marcionism, so the only resources I have are church attestation and my own biased observations.
Like you I think the Evangelion ascribed to Marcion is, if not fully fraudulent, then representing a later development within the Marcionite theology. The argument that many Marcion priority supporters make frames it as being more fixed than the orthodoxy's canon; but we know, if Galatians 3 and Antithesis are anything to go off of, they were not above changing their own texts to counter heresies made against it.
The Marcion character has given me no end of troubles, but I am / have convinced myself that the nautical claims are a memory of the founder claiming to be a new Noah as opposed to a new Moses. Whether he really was Aquila working for Hadrian or Peregrinus Proteus's forays into Judaism is beyond my depth, but there needs to be a reason why this theology had to come about. Discovering that would bring the evidence we have into alignment.
