[QUOTE="moberg12, post: 276968, member: 3819"] When I gutted the boat the sides did flex out a bit. The straps in the picture were just for trailering the boat, but when I was doing my framing I did use straps to bring the boat back to the correct width. Once I got most of the framing done I took them off and the gunnels did flex back out a bit. I'm planning to reuse the gunwale bracing so I'll use the straps again when it comes time. I haven't taken it out yet but I am getting really close!! My new steering cable came in last week but was missing the helm converter so I'm waiting on teleflex to send the replacement. I was told it would ship out today so hopefully I'll get it this week. I also got a lot of work done this weekend, I need to take some pics and update this thread! If all goes as planned I might try to take the boat out for the first time on Sunday. Keep your fingers crossed!! Headed outside to put in a couple hours right now! [/QUOTE]
