Shearline has a little dip towards the bow, but it similar to SC, and there is tumblehome at the transom. It unique, but of course the styling is inspired by some of my favorite lines.
Structurally, she is a composite sandwich hull. The strips/planks are a core, biaxial skins inside and out set in epoxy. Strips are mostly cedar, with fir on chines and keel.

Cool boat, When I first saw it I thought "that looks like an seacraft crossed with an Ray Hunt rear section with chines added but with out the VDH". Sounds like you took the best of several good designs and made them work together. I bet that will be an light weight good riding hull when finished. I always wanted to do a smaller 25-28' plank frame Carolina boat with a more of an deeper vee instead of the traditional flat back. Something with the broken sheer line and tumblehome. I don't think the smaller hulls do as well as the bigger hulls with the flat low dead rise in the rear. 24 degress should help the ride on that length hull and hopefully the chines take the roll out. Sounds like a cool build. Post some pics of it as you work on it as well if you don't mind...
