Experience gives you the confidence as you have demonstrated with you plank scarfs. When I built my Duck Punt I made measurements from various points along the hull to determine the correct line for the shear. I ended up trimming about two inches out of the midsections of the hull to achieve the correct shear curve. You may have already cut to perfection prior to assembly and will not have this issue but its worth a check before starting your gunwale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
