[StartQuote] Mike, I had a go at it with my build last year. I just shaved down the bow but this creates a problem with the vee of the hull being reduced so you have to remove some of the groove under the deck so it will fit, and then reduce the overhang a little. This creates an acceptable dip but be careful of the screw pushing through the stem. Have a look here: http://www.pt103.com/Italeri_PT109_Build_Stuart_Hurley.html You could also add shims under the deck further back, which I didn't think of, as David Waples did with his build to create some rise in the deck. Go easy or it will look more like a 77' boat which had a really pronounced S Dont forget the rise at the stern, which is also missing. Best Regards, Stu. [EndQuote]
