Hi Mark,

The stations/bilkhead is what defines the hull shape, so you should attempt bend the hull into shape with the bulkhead.

I think this is a common issue. Both Greg and I had this problem. The way we fixed this was to put a strap around the hull with 2x4 blocks with carpet or a towel. The blocks
are placed inside the strap on the places you want to push in. When you then tighten the strap it will push in those sides. If you have a better/easier way lets hear it. The procedure will
not create problems where there are no stations. If anything it will probably just correct it here as well. While the strap holds the side in place you epoxy in the bulkhead.

I have small gaps between station 8 and the hull in the middle of the flair (touching at chine and gunwale but not in between). Should I make the hull fit the station or fill the gap? If I make the hull fit the station will this distort the hull where there ore no stations? Did anyone else have this problem and how did you correct it?
Sincerely,
Mark
