[QUOTE="bigwave, post: 281762, member: 7537"] Here is a simple way to get the exact cut you need for the radius on the bow. I put a full sheet across the area in question. I then traced the radius on one side of the boat. You will have to cut inside the line to get a tight fit. Make the cut on the side that you traced, then measure the distance width to the other side. You can then take the cut and lay it down on the other side and make your line for the other cut. Make sure you measure the top width towards the bow so you can clamp your first cut piece in place. Your second cut should be a mirror image of the first one. Then you just cut the length back as far as you want that radius cuts to end. It worked like a champ for my boat....i have maybe a sawblade of play on each side. I measured 10 times before I cut the second radius....plus a couple of beers. [/QUOTE]
