[QUOTE="rellis1962, post: 136402, member: 2519"] Couple more details about cutting the front decking. The homemade scribe worked perfectly once I figured out that it needs to follow the contour at the point that the plywood will meet the side (1/2" up from the top of the framing). The point was whittled to a tapered point so the point would touch the side in just the right place. Also, you must keep the scribe tool as perpendicular as possible to the side as you scribe. Next I measured the angle between the side and the deck framing and set my jig saw to that angle. Cutting the sides of the ply at an angle to match the side of the boat made for a really nice fit. These pics might help understand what I am trying to say. [/QUOTE]
