: Thanks for the quick responses, I was hoping to figure this out before the
: weekend (lot's of build time coming up ;-)

: Unless someone else chimes in telling me I'm crazy, I will assume I don't
: need to do anything. But Len, I think I will try your idea, especially
: where it's really off, to try and get the strips to hit closer to the
: mark.

: Thanks again!!

I'm not real sure I'm reading this right, but you have to remember that the center of the forums will only meet the design lines at the widest frame on the boat, otherwise only one corner will be at the design lines. Take a test strip and clamp it to the forms and you'll see what I mean.
