Title: Happy Hunter- where to snip?
Post by: Pat Matthews on June 25, 2011, 07:43:46 pm

I recall running into this on a previous Robbe model... fuzzy definition of the trim line on the vac-formed ABS hull. Where to cut?

On the outside, you can see a wide softly defined line:

And on the inside, the more sharply defined, but still rather wide line:

I suppose I can trim to the top of the interior line, I can always cut more later... but does anyone KNOW the correct place to trim to?

Thx,
PM

Hi PM,
maybe this picture of my Happy Hunter is helpful.
