Anyone out there please help!!! I attached the two sides at a 90degree angle to a 1x1 bow stem. When I tried to put the braces in at the correct points and bend the sides...there was an enormous amount of stress applied to the bow stem!!! I had to use 12 screws, glue and clamps to keep the thing together. IN the end the support braces had to be shortened...as you can see the boat doesnt bow out like it should!!! Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Look at the shape of the stem of a similar skiff at
