[QUOTE="Wallijig, post: 407347, member: 6398"] What I do to make templates that follow contours is use piece of string taping it up in center of nose, run down center of boat stretch it tight, make sure its at same height you want top of piece you are installing. Then put marks on it every 1". take piece of cardboard draw center line down that and put 1" marks on that line also. using a square and tape I then go down string measuring to edges of boat off those 1" marks and transfer measurements over marking them on card board. Connect marks you did on cardboard, cut, and see how fits in boat. If need any trimming need to be done trim it off, if needs some added on mark in areas that need adding and redraw on another piece of cardboard or on material you intend to cut. [/QUOTE]
