You can see from this picture that I didn't get the gap totally closed on mine.
There was maybe a ¼" gap where the 4 panels met.
After a couple of tries, I finally figured out what was going on when the plywood is bending in one plane and twisting in another. I could get the centerline stitches to work OK, but the chine just refused to cooperate when I tried to pull the stitches tight.
I finally made it fall in place with temp cleats on the inside pulled with only one screw on each. That worked to pull the bottom panels in while applying equal force pulling the side panels out.
Tightening the chine stitches at the bow tended to pull the panels into an overlap before the panel edges met. Using the cleat and screw method, I could apply the twisting force without pulling the seam closed.

Re: Doc_Dyer's V10
Now I won't be able to sleep, or will get chased by a big 52 in my dreams.
score on the back nine?
the buoy you hit?
I will not think about 52 ... I will not think about 52 ... .... 52 ... 52 ..........

Re: Doc_Dyer's V10
ok I think you have waited long enough
last fishing trip with Richard and Larry me and Sonner were driving down I-75 and got off the interstate onto hwy 52 so I texted Richard and told him that I was hitting 52. he replied that he didnt know it was my birthday
it took me and Sonner about 5 min to figure out what in the hell Richard was talking about?
so now you can get some sleep

Re: Doc_Dyer's V10
Except its a little after noon. Can I save the sleep for later? Though, that never seems to work, does it?
Re: Doc_Dyer's V10

question
plans show to cut front bulkhead to top of sheer line. see following pictures
can I cut a large radius on bulkhead and make front curved?
I believe that the sheer line is NOT where it is pointed to on the plans
