I spent a few minutes trimming the fiberglass and epoxy from the work last night. Then I pushed the stringers forward to their final location and pulled the hull back till it just touched the bowstem and climbed underneath to take a look.
Pretty cool! There's a lot of work tomorrow on getting the bowstem to fit, but the first thing to fix will be at the transom. You will note however, that once the sides go on the only way inside will be by crawling underneath the shelves. That should be fun. :-)
That gap is there because the transom needs to be trimmed a little lower where the chines land. With the change in the angle of the transom leaning forward a little more than the original design that changes the layout of the lines on the transom not accounted for in the plans. Not a big deal, just a few minutes work to fix.
Oh, and the bigger and smaller? The shop feels bigger as parts and pieces are removed from the sides, but it feels smaller as everything consolidates in the middle.
