Here's the end product. this is the "down" side that had me wondering about the angle of my saw and the quality of my layout.
I'm thrilled. I had almost the exact saw clearance to the lines, and didn't cross inside of them on either piece. Well, cutting the curve of the bottom i took out the line more than i wanted, but I'm going to be VERY close to the curve that Jim drew. I might end up robbing 1/4" of inside vertical clearance sanding the curve fair. This assumes i do as well on the forward half later today/this evening.
I set up my old HI8 tape video camcorder to record the process. Turns out all of my current computers are too new to talk to it. I'll have to abscond with my old Toshiba laptop I've been letting our shop foreman use on his bench to get the video uploaded. I should have that done by this weekend for any other Newbie boat builders to see how quick and easy this was with the right saw. The trick is very careful layout and alignment. measure 6 times, cut once :-)
