: Well....I've done it two ways. On my first one I did like you and
: had the stringers too long and I bent them to shape, decided I
: liked that shape and cut the stems to fit. Of course this way
: it's an experimental boat as it's no longer as Tom designed it.
: Other way, probably a better idea, is to follow the plans :)

: Bill H.
Well there's the rub, the "plans" (and I am NOT complaining) don't actually say much about this.First off the plans deal pretty much with the single chine version and secondly they never say how long to cut them at least as far as I can discern. maybe I am reading too fast I will go and search again. What I get from the page and photo's is "now make a plywood stem and stern that you like and think looks good". As I am an avowed wood butcher with Zero artistic bent I thought I would ask around.

Thanks
