I havent done any cutting yet. Several people have said it will be fairly easy, and my friend who built one in the same class is horrified that I would alter this boat because its actually the finest one of the many dozens that were built on the same design. He is begging me not to. The builder decided to cut 2 inches off the sheer and wound up with a really nice low volume boat, the best of its kind. Its the only one of this design that I even like. So I'm not rushing anything. I definitely don't want to muck it up.
But I wouldn't build another one either, if I build another boat (and I hope I do) it will be a another skinboat.
