: You could put the hull in the water, sit in it, and move fore and aft until
: it's trimmed where you like. Then mark it for cockpit placement.

I suppose It wouldn't hurt to make a quick trip down to the water and check it out. I'll glass it this weekend and see how it floats next week.

My wife is really going to give me a hard time about an early launch on this one!!
