: Okay, I finally just sat down and looked at the boat now that it is
: upright. It looks like it might be twisted. When I site down the
: deck stringers we are off by about 3/4" over 11'. When I
: look down the keel with it upright it looks to be off by the
: same or a bit less in the other direction. Is this going to be
: an issue and if so is it correctable now that most of the
: stringers are epoxied in?

: Brian

By the way, the stems have not been attached yet. They were warped and that got me looking at the rest of the boat. Not sure if they were warped when I cut them or if the fluctuations in humidity did it when the basement got water in it.
