Hi Marc,

I think I did the same thing you did on my first Micro Bootlegger last winter. I started from the stern of the boat and went forward. When I started to get the front curve I noticed the pieces were going on a slight angle back. instead of taking them down I thought I would start on the other side working from the back to the front. This created a wide V or a keystone look at the very center of the boat. I put a piece of white pine in for pop and it looked like I meant to do it.

I also added in some rope for my fillet that turned out looking nice, I will put rope on this boat as well.
