Bill,

Somehow I have never seen an example of your round bilge SOF method.
Can you post a picture of the boat skinned and unskinned?

I had considered the same but was concerned about stiffness between frames in the case of an impact.
And a stripper has glass on both sides of the thin hull sections.

When I built a rounded gunwale I considered it on a Yost since the 90 degree angle between deck and hull side would have provided more inherent stiffness for the local area, and that would normally not have impact like the bottom of the boat.
