A solution?

Why not kit up the critical bulk heads CNCed pre cut ready to use? Then all you need to worry about is the rocker placement.

Rob,
I had some time and I took a look at Sta 10. It should be 74" at the widest point. And yes the beam will be about 2" wider than that. Without actually looking at the lines, I suspect that while Sta 10 is the widest station, the widest point may be just forward or aft of that on the gunwale. By the time you extend the gunwale down below the tip of the station the proper amount, the boat becomes the correct width (less 1/4" for builder error). This all happens automatically when you bend the gunwale strips according to the instructions.
Good to hear that you are moving right along. Keep that sawdust flying.
Best regards,
Bram
