I don't expect you can get the gunwales level.
They are bent in an arc. The gunwale is angled outward at the center of the boat.
That means the bow and stern should be higher than the gunwale at the center.
You can't get the gunwale to bend across the 1.5 " width without something to force it into that shape.
