Good tip on the mirror! I finished stripping the hull on mine yesterday, and turned it over. A few of the strips that have a lot of bend and twist near the ends have gaps up to 1/32", but most are nice and tight. The mirror would have really helped on these as I could not see too well up into the stem areas.
