After looking at every profile picture of a 20' hull I could find on the web, it appears that there is definitely something wrong here. The boat sat on the trailer for a few years with the stringers cut back - including travel from Ft Lauderdale to Homosassa and back (about 9 hours round trip). I guess the time and travel without the last 2' of stringers allowed it to move some.
I guess that I will be building a carriage that caries the hull straight & true before putting the stringers back in.
If I can figure out how far forward of the transom the hull bottom starts its compound curve that would make this easier. It looks like the outboard hull bottom starts an upward curve around 8' forward of the transom. The inboard bottom stays straight a bit further forward. Does anyone know for sure?
This is going to be fun!
