[QUOTE="Brine, post: 162165, member: 1053"] :WELCOME: to TinBoats Sgt. Nice little rig ya got there. I did the template for my bow like you did by lay the cardboard on top of the rails, which didn't make a good fit either so I cut the template long ways which allowed the template to overlap itself in the middle and was a close fit. From there, I just used a scribe to follow the contour of the hull and transfered the exact shape to the template. Someone on here posted this process, and could probably be found using the search feature. Make sure to check our the mods section to get some inspiration here: [url]https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=3156[/url] Also, the boat seems to be hanging off the back of that trailer a good bit. You don't have much weight hanging on the transom with those motors, but you may want to consider how to help the situation while you're in the modding mood. Good luck with the rest of the build.
