: Stern is another matter entirely. Pieces don't come together at all - this
: boat wasn't designed for this construction method and here's where it
: shows. This part is going to be very very tricky since the chines are
: supposed to sweep way up. It will be up to the stem to hold them there.
: I'm not sure how I'm going to make this work, but everything else is going
: together very nicely, so I'll have to find a way.

On most SOF's that have upward sweeping ends there are triangles of wood added on top of the gunwales to allow this. There's no way you'll bend them to that much of an upward sweep.
