: measuring a lot and looking at it a lot more I finally decided
: to just leave it alone. I don't think there will be any
: noticeable adverse effect on the handling of the boat and now
: that the boat is skinned and painted it's impossible to see
: unless I point it out.

The biggest advantage to a Skin on frame. :P
If you paint it it covers nearly all minor errors you've made on the frame, it really has to protrude into the skin, or create a void to be visible with the skin on.
