Should have mentioned that this is my own FreeShip design. I was concerned about the program developing the panels correctly but it doesn't seem to be a problem. Panels are/were darn close. The bottom panels were maybe 3/16" longer than the sides when I got it together. That was on the only error I blame on Freeship. Didn't mention that one because it was simple fix. Just planned down the end.

I got my hump out of the hull this morning. Of course that generated another one. So I fixed that one.

Squeezed the bottom panels at the bow and stern and it looks good now. I just flipped it over. Adjusted the supports and double checked it and now it's ready to fillet. Of course I am having second thoughts and will probably flip it back over and double check everything.

I need to cut some additional bulkheads to hold it in place too and act as a gage. Problem is I don't have any suitable ply and forgot to run to the building supply before they closed. Of course I can go to Lowes. Just not a big fan of them. Prefer to support the local guys.

Some construction photos.
