Not just you for sure. I cut my hull sides wrong (Luckily too high) I missed the dimension at the transom. Its a lot easier to fix, and cheaper, to cut long instead of short... :wink:
Surprisingly, I haven't gotten really that mad at my mistakes on this project....Home and car repairs, I'll be cussing and yelling up a storm, the dogs will go hide because they think I'm yelling at them :lol:
This boat building thing is like therapy for me.
Good luck!

I'll share. I can tell you from experience that no matter how much time you give it, and no matter how much you heat it, a mix with 1 part medium hardener and 2 parts slow hardener will NEVER cure.

Scraping that off sucked a lot.

Or pulling up that piece of biax tape laid into an active wet on wet lamination, a piece that was just laid into an otherwise good lamination, and wet out into it with straight resin, no hardener. :oops:
