S&G: Mill Creek 13; how much rocker?

I'm building the mill creek 13 from the wooden boat plans. Got the panels all wired together and they fit well. But the bulkheads don't fit as well as I would like (stern bulkhead seems about 1/2 an inch too wide at sheer) I can make them fit fine but by playing with the wired boards it seems to me that the width and placement of the bulkheads set up the amount of rocker. half an inch of beam probably won't matter but I don't want to screw up the designed rocker. Can anybody tell me what the rocker is supposed to be before I freeze my work in epoxy? Easiest way for me to measure it now is height of bow and stern above a flat floor.

Thanks,
Jeff
