I remeber seeing that written somewhere as well, I think don even made a comment about it.

Cig Hull

I read your post and went in looked this weekend think you are correct lower strakes are sharp and even upper one looks like it was ground out to not accent the misalignment

Mistress was a great boat when I had it. Your dash looks great. I just didn't like the Freeboard being so low, because I am 6' 6" tall. I even look taller driving.....lol

Your picture above and you saying "I even look taller driving" coinciding with me just watching the movie Gator with Burt Reynolds a day ago.
I can't help but chuckle and think of this in the movie.

At least the Gun, Cafe and Playboy that I owned had much better Freeboard. Mistress always seemed like I could just step out anytime. lol
