> Don the sheerline strip touches properly and mates closely with grind section of the stern stem. I left space for a cheater. The second strip only toucheson the edge next to the sheerstrip. The third is floating 1/8 - 1/4 " away from the form. I left room for another cheater strip here. I'm close enough to the chine that I've switched to 3/8" strips, being more flexible they present a problem as they lay better but don't match the others. The second and third strips don't mate up with the stem either.

I've rechecked the level on the end form, it's ok. I made my section forms from 3/4 plywood. Next I'm going to redraw that form, perhaps I entered a wrong number.
