Thanks, Ken and Dave. That all made sense -- even Dave's part on fillet thickness and chine rounding, which only sunk in after the 3rd slow reading. I've decided to add one more tape-like strip of 4 oz. down cockpit center, to supplement what's already there. In other words, I almost think that center line is OK, but extra insurance would make me feel better.

What have you got there, Ken? Overall lines look nice. Picture leaves my mind mis-perceiving the bow shape: looks plunging; then looks sharply angled; then looks plunging...
