I guess I'd do both sides for bottom panels and inside for lower side and outside for upper side.
Any guidance here?

Is there a way to bend the bottom hull panels by the bow? I'm having issues with the panels slipping one under the other while I'm trying to bend them together.
Any advice?!

The C19 should be very easy to plank. Somewhere, I have a picture of Jim Wright pushing the panels in place, at the bow, with one finger.
That was Okume but still, it looks like you have to much material there.
I remember you had problems cutting the bottom tip. You may have to cut a slice off, they should not push against each other.

Check to make sure your bow mold is centered. I was off 3/8" and it was causing me the same trouble. Even after that
I had to shave a little off my bottom panels (1/4 to 1/2") to get them to go together and have a little gap. Just take a little at a time and check fit.

Got bottom planking on, doesn't look too bad. Anyone see anything I need to fix? The stringers in the front might need sanding down as there still a bit proud of the bulkheads and the planking is resting on them and not the bulkheads.

The bow mold helps to confirm the bow is the correct shape. Plywood prefers to be flat, and often the nose of the boat needs to be pulled aft so there is a little more flare and no droop in profile. Without the bow mold you probably won't notice until it's too late to fix. It can be made from cheap materials.

Hello guys, I have just flipped and starting to glass the inside. Does the fiberglass need to overlap over the top edge of the transom or does it stop at end of top of transom. Thanks
