[Rhodes22-list] Seam line name

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I read a thread on another site where a guy took the deck off of a Venture
17.  When he went to put it back together there was a 2" gap at the bow.
Either the deck had curve up or the hull down (or both).  He finally got
them back together but he had to use jacks and bags of sand etc. to bend
the deck down and the  bow stem up.  So if you do decide to take your deck
all the way off.   Plan ahead.  Things will shift, warp and bend and
getting the pieces to fit again can be a real challenge.
