: Ok, Ive spent about a monumental amount of time on this one problem

: To try and explain my problem...
: I am not liking the look of the chine lines between sections 1 and
: 2 of this Sea Pup. It comes in and up alot, and just doesnt seem
: to follow the lines of the rest of the boat. Also I measured
: between the Gunwales and chine the length of the kayak, and its
: all averaging about 6" or just under.... all the way from
: the stern to section two, then at section one it seems to jump
: to 7". Ok, so I thought for sure I had my offsets wrong and
: double checked. It looks like I got it right. What am I doing
: wrong?
: Or is the boat lines suppose to have that curve in it? The chine
: just doesnt seem to want to fall into place at section 2. So, I
: just cant see how its right.

: Desperate for some advice... nervous as heck making the video, so
: dont laugh too hard guys! *wink
: Appreciate your time.

Hi Heather,
Looking at your video (by the way great idea) I see what you are concerned about. I can remember that the sea pup went together very well. That is all the stations worked together well. The station I would check is #2. If the chine is not fair in it's curve I also would be concerned. I think you may want to email Tom Yost. He is always helpful with a question. Don't stress out and get upset. Just carefully check the stations and the spacing.

As for the #3 opening I don't have the kayak any more so I can't check that out. I have the picture from before only bigger. Looking at #3 it looks about like yours. What I do for more leg room is instead of a notch for the deck beam I make the Masik section of the form 1 inch and dowel the beam into the forward face of the masik. I don't know if this helped any but I hope so.
