I just attached the deck and hull on my Pygmy Goldeneye. It all fit together okay until I got to the bow. Then, using clamps, I was able to get the left side to line up okay, but the right side popped and creating a 1/4 inch gap. Since we had already done and end pour as per Pygmy's directions, my husband suggested that we drill a screw and nut through the deck ridge seam and "snug" it down into the end pour. I turned my back and closed my eyes while he drilled but it worked!
