: I assume that the measurements are outside so I allowed for the thickness of
: the ply. After I lay out the bulkheads I just put a piece of scrap ply on
: there and mark it and trim to that line. The bow fit nearly perfect and
: that is where I expected an error because of the twist in the panels. It's
: near the front and rear bulkhead that are off. I am leaning more and more
: toward a combination of small errors on my my part. No simple way to know
: though.

: I will start the second boat latter this week and will pay close attention
: this time and see if I determine what is happening as I go.

One other possible problem is with standard boat construction the bulkheads edges are tapered, the edges angles match the angle of the hull sides where they join. The software I'm assuming was not designed specifically for kayak construction, so you need another work around. Perhaps I'm wrong, not by a long shot an expert on boat design software.
