Something you might want to consider if you are pulling the decks and building them outside the boat..

Flexpat, the TotalBoat shop is pretty awesome. Like yourself, the decks being straight and true is my top priority. The bros and I made a fairly heavy duty brace/subfloor out of poplar and 2x4's to fasten to the deck to pull any low spots and level any high spots. I plan to vacuum bag the stringers when I get to that point. Made some major progress tonight, I'll post some pictures in the A.M.
