i went under with the football , it worked out great.just make sure your wet out is good over that area and watch for tiny bubbles with the first coat.

: Hello All,
: I am finally glassing the outside of my Outer Island after starting this boat
: almost two years ago. In the instruction manual that came with the plans,
: Jay suggests the football and stem pieces go under the fiberglass rather
: than on top as Nick's book suggests. I like the idea of the football under
: the glass to save time but I am wondering if there will be a visible line
: at the edges or will this go away with the fill coats?
: Thanks,
: Dave
