Ayuh,........ You've got it going in a Great Direction,.........And,... Welcome to the forums here at iboats.......<br /><br />Probably Most rebuilds are done On a Trailer.....<br />You'll want to make Sure that the bare hull is properly supported,+ held as "True" as possible.......<br /><br />Mason's String Line is Your Friend,...... Boats aren't Square,.... They're Measured off the Keel Line,.... That's where you want the String Line.......<br />Measure from It,+ If you're Happy the hull is as True as you like,.......<br /><br />Start Pouring the Glass,+ Laying Stringers........
