filterbiz, Just a question. In the second to last pic from your first post, it looks like the bottom rises back along side the jets intake (looks like the stringer is shorter near the transom than about 3' forward). Am I just seeing things or does it really do this, and if so does the outside of the bottom do the same thing ??
