Hi there! I am thinking about ways for straightening a large GRP Hull i purchased some years ago. I just resumed working on it and found the upper and lower hull beeing slightly out of shape. The hull has been cut at the waterline. The deck bends upwards both bow and stern and the lower hull is now a bit wider at the broadest point so the deck would fall right through it. I remember the overall fit not beeing perfect back in 2018 when it arrived, but not THAT bad.
My idea: removing any surplus material from the inside to achieve a consistant wall thickness, rigging the hull halves up and forcing them in shape by taping and/or some sort of jig assembly, giving it a good hot water washing and varefully apply heat by heat gun.
Suggestions?
Best regards, Jörg
