Sooo, it is done, but see if you can spot the error. I coated the fiberglass cloth with another layer of epoxy and glued and nailed the two halves together. My "measure thrice" obviously didn't work. The frustrating part is that I did measure 6 or more times, and there was a line for me to align the pieces to, and I drilled pilot holes for the screws. Unfortunately, they were all wrong!
I looked back over the plans, and I don't think that frame 3 being misaligned by 5/8th of an inch will make the boat sink. Frame 3 is the widest part of the boat, so I am not sure how a small difference will effect the hydrodynamics. I am hoping that the only long term effect will be the eyesore from having to look at the staggered uprights.
