: Hi Glen,
: Found my old 2x10 kd homemade book shelves in the garage and used
: them as a building board on a strongback.
: I managed to raise 4 1/2 ". That should do it.

: The measurements in Mac Mcarthys book are different from his plan
: drawing or I'm missing something. The plans show length of
: building board is 10' 9 1/2" but when you add up the
: distances it totals 126 3/4" . Should I cut off the
: difference?

: Douglas

I don't have the plan, just the book. I would go with the stated form spacing and use a "building board" that is about 4 to 6 inches than the boat at each end.
