I plan on flipping mine the same way this weekend. Was there much flexing or twisting
of the hull ?
Topwater - no problem flipping the hull, just made sure everything was well "spot welded" in place and I reinforced the bow where the bow eye was and just used 3 pulleys to slowly rotate it using the bow eye as the pivot and 2 transom eyes at the back. I didn't reinforce the sheer or anything. The hull does have "lifting strakes" so is quite stiff and held its shape well.

I added about 3 inches to the original panels at the front end and tapered them to the original lines at about half way... I have now shaved quite a bit off though.

I will see how it looks with the molds out and some floorboards in to get an idea of cockpit depth...

I'm thinking it would make a great inshore boat without that top panel, never thought about that. I wonder what it ouwld save on the BOM to build without the extensions :D
