Yes -- I'm thinking of the strips below the bow piece (between the bow
piece and the waterline).  My bow piece is about 10" high, and the
strips are maybe 15" (I'm not in front of the boat at the moment).  So
the additional 5" of strips need some re-fitting before I cut off the
remainder and attach the bow piece.

I didn't shape the bow when I stripped the hull or flares, and so my
bow is a bit too long.
