Rock, I would say that it is not done, not after 48 hours. Did you use any DAP, fermaid, or vitamin B, when you put it down? It reads to me as though your yeast could be a bit stressed, or your ph is off. What is your PH reading at?
I like to keep my PH at around 3.5 - 4.5, you can use some citric acid to lower your ph or some calcium carbonate to raise it. So check you PH and adjust if that is out(no more than 1/4 teaspoon at a time). If your PH is all good then add some yeast nutrient(DAP or Fermaid) and it should kick off again.
You are not likely to get a SG better 1.000 because of the molasses but it is not done yet.
