: I found time with a laser today. The deck is dead straight from the
: 8th station back to the sterns 15th station the end form is out
: by about an 1/8th.

: The deck is square from th e 8mth station forward to the 3rd
: station then is off by an 1/8th to the second and an 1/8th in
: the front stem.

: Flipping the boat over with the laser; the hull is straight from
: the stern untill the second station. I plan on using an external
: stem and I have planed the end strips up till the 3rd station
: for this.

: My thinking is if I use the external stem I can shape this to fix
: the difference. yes/no?

: The deck being off doesn't concern me as much because I can just
: reshape those forms to looks good and be done with it. Since
: they will never be in the water what does it matter yes/no?

: Thanks

: Dave

Deck doesn't matter unless having the mistake in the hull bothers you. You'll be the only one that ever sees the mistake on the finished boat.
