To get a perfect hull requires lots of hand sanding with a long board, it's not a fun job which is why everyone wants to automate it in one way or another. Perfect is just that, it's round, no flat spots.

Most builders never get that picky, has very little overall effect on the appearance of the boat nor the performance. What's good enough for one builder may very well be just a good start for another. You have to decide.
