Well Ive changes the pinchers and gotten it pretty fair to the spreader sticks. The hull did spring out a little, and I suspect the deck will more as there is more stress on the pinchers. It'd be convenient to have it match... Ive been hesitant to post pix, as I do one boat a year to everybody else's one a week. Cant have y'all laugin at me...

: Hi Don;

: No, I wouldn't trust anything to change much after you glass the inside and
: remove the spreaders (or pinchers). I assume you are referring to that
: concave area at the bow with the sweet reverse curve that makes it look so
: nice. I had to glue a spacer into my hull to make it conform (a GB), but I
: notice my deck has relaxed probably to the same condition as yours after
: glassing just the top. I'm gong to say, don't glass the inside if it is
: presently unfair with the spreader/pincher in place.

: Perhaps Joe will jump in here with a remedy, I suspect whatever you can do to
: make the reverse curve fair to match the deck will be acceptable.

: Best of luck & how about more pictures??

: Best Regards, Spidey
