You're right, it would be a lot of extra work. I have taken another look, and have done some more flattening of the stem area. I like the idea that Tony used, in treating the deck as a separate lamination. This solves the challenge of how my deck and hull are coming together, and I could soften the bow and stern this way.

Thanks Scott,
