curved centerline thpught it wasnt good used an internal strong back must have worped after i started striping the hull. any way its not that i've written off the boat its seems to be out about 1-1&1/2 from the cockpit back.figured if i took the boat off the forms and then tried to straighten the hull.glass the inside then out i might be able to get some of the curve out if not i'll just have to add a small skeg slightely angled to beat the curve.but only if i cant get the hull straight.
