: Question is, is this enough of a problem that I should take off forms 11
: through 17 and reposition them ?

If you don't do this now you will spend the rest of your life wondering if you made this boat the right way. This will be one more reason to build another boat. Once you get started on the second boat it is a slippery slope down hill. You ARE addicted! Admit it and get on with ordering plans for the third boat. :)

Seriously, though, the difference will be slight to unnoticeable, if you continue. However, if you chose to fix things now you will have a rather easy time. Start at the middle fothe boat and jsut move one form at a time. You'll have all the others in place, and they will provide reference points to help you line it up again once you have moved it the necessary 3/4 inch distance along the strongback.

Hope this helps
