There is one hump in the keel. Obviously there was a mistake in the panels and I seem to remember seeing something that I questioned. Might have been this but I honestly don't remember. Just remember something looked funny but it measured OK so I left it.

I am going to unwire that section and plane it down. I have #140 rabbit plane that should trim that up just fine. I like the idea of using the slick too. Not sure I trust myself though. I use my chisels a lot, but sure enough I would slip.

The other issue and really the main one is just the twist in the panels from the bow/stern to the middle of the boat. The wire just can't pull the hull into shape so I end up with low spot. Thats pretty simple to take a clamp and just "squeeze" the hull into shape. I was messing around last night and found that Irwin quick clamp with the rubber pads worked well for this, figure I will just add some braces like this to hold it place so I can flip it back over.
