After fitting and installing the side panels on the boat hull, the next step is to prepare the mating surfaces for the bottom panels.

In this video, I trimmed the excess side panel material from the stem and transom, the I planed, and belt sanded the chines and main frame bottoms to a uniform flat surface from side to side. This allows for a good seal between the bottom panels and side panels, transom, and stem. It also provides for a stronger hull with greater structural rigidity.

I hope you enjoy this video!
