i always make mistakes ...today after 6 months of preperation i installed my stringers and crossmembers and glassed them in with woven roving on one side it was hard work , but i was realy proud then i cleaned up and started thinking , i was going to jack up the front of the boat a bit its 18 1/2 feet and sits on 10 foot bunks , the hull has been sitting for 8 months without a cap and ground out for 3 or more months , the hull seems thick and dosent seem out of forum ,there are no stress cracks,,,,,im going to do the front 1/3 of the floor and then put the cap back on then foam and do the rest of the floor ......how bad did i mess up i always seem to mess up but find a way around it ... any help would be appriciated

Better take lots of measurements to be sure your OK. I would be a little more concerned about the sides flexing when it's time to do the floor.

A tight chalk line up against the bottom in several places will show any sags, bow to stern. Twists are sometimes picked up by a good eye.
