What to do??? Need help BIG TIME!

[Heath M]

Thank you both very much, it is the sensible thing to do, although visually DISTURBING!
I must inject a bit of self deprecating humor here: I am very near sighted and in one eye especially, so even with prescription glasses I don't see a straight like due to the high index of correction, my brain has learned to compensate for it most of the time, so when I realized this issues this morning, I thought my brain wasn't kicking in to do its thing.

I only ever see straight after a few drinks, is 830am to early to start lol.
I was looking at buying the same hull and did quite a bit of research on it, hence seeing the same transom issue, but decided it would be to small to race here.
Might be worth sending H+M an email with those pics and asking the same question.

I will send H&M an e mail, great suggestion! Thanks!

Do not waste your time with emails... I had the same problem years ago and I got an answer saying that it was designed this way... with no other details. I installed everything perpendicular to the table and it works perfectly.
Make sure you reinforce the seam on the full length, mine opened after a high speed crash (and Oliver blamed it on the speed). You be the judge, but it seems to me the FG was not fully infused with resin...

Rocstar (Joel) helped me with the lay up, he was careful to point out that there was one area where there was a bubble, separation between one of the layers. He took care of that. Joel did a fabulous job , and the seam was reinforced as much as possible, the difficult thing is to get to the tips and under the deck, this was impossible, and I don't believe in pouring two-part expanding foam under the front deck either. Well....
I actually thought about the possible answer from the manufacturer, you have just confirmed my feelings, but knowing what to expect, I guess there is nothing that I would lose from shooting Oliver an e mail.
Thanks much for the heads up and your experience with the hull.

Sand the seam and put a coat of primer on it, sand it again, now put a coat of paint on it. If it came out right now you can't see the seam. Now mount the rudder the way it's supose to be, problem solved!

Definitely use the table as your guide

Thanks for the brilliant idea!
I thought I will at least mask that with pin stripe. I have had this hull for a long time and been staring at that line for quite sometime, as i said, because of my assumption, yesterday's discovery ( that it being the level line) was just too much of a mental shock/disturbance. I have recovered somewhat and mounted my rudder, think everything should work out.
