In Response To: Hull and deck lifting off forms (Brad)

It is not uncommon for the boat to pull off the forms. If you are not going to do anything with it right away, strap it back down to the forms. The pieces can take quite a bit of force. Push them down slowly.

If you are ready to attach the deck to the hull you can probably proceed. It will take some force to get everything together but I've joined boats with several inches of difference between the deck and the hull.
