: With just the exterior glassed the hull can still change shape. Many on this

: glass the interior.

: Tom

I have never read of that here, but have read many posts saying: I just finished stripping the hull and I noticed that my 2"x4" "strongback" has caused the hull to come out warped. What can I do to fix it? Do I have to start cutting the hull, or can I try to somehow "rack" it BACK into shape?" And the answer is never a good one.

My experience with a hull glassed outside (forms in, strips tight to forms) off the strongback is that there is no stability issue to guard against here. So for me the internal presents no "advantage" at all. But if you like it that is good.
