I don't about you guys and your plain jane boats ;-()))

Great design onyour strip layout. When I did mine, i used the wedge approach, then cursed and swore when They went to deep. I used staples and with a wire loop was ablt to get it back up for a second, third, fourth attempt to get it as close to flush as possible. On my next boat, I'll do the curvy sections first, then the straight section last.
