Thanks for the interest and encouraging words, guys. I'll try to get some more pics up by the end of the weekend.

Ken,
Mine has noticeable hook in it too. I think it was done intentionally to keep the bow down at lower speeds. I suspect you'll improve top end performance if you remove it, but it may hurt low speed performance unless you're going to put trim tabs on it.
I haven't decided if I want to unhook mine yet, but I'll definitely have trim tabs. I'm toying with the idea of putting a pad on the keel to get it up off the vee at speed, but I'm not going to make that decision until I get the stringers and deck in and flip it over.

Terry,
That pic is about 5 years old. The barn is enclosed, insulated, air conditioned, and heated. Unfortunately, it's also filled up with an accumulation of boat stuff, so I should have built it bigger. There are more recent pics in my Seafari thread (link below).
