Tough decision

When the stern came together, it never lined up correctly ie perpendicular to the floor. It seemed to be favoring the port side, many conversations with esteemed captains, it was decided the stern must be attended to as it may make the boat go in circles. The thought of cutting off the stern was similar to hacking ones leg off. Finally, with enough courage, the Japanese saw was put to work. I took exactly 10 inches off from the tip of the stern on the bottom panel at a 30 degree angle towards the bow. The idea now is to find some nice dark hardwood and create a flat angled stern. This will also provide an area for some gold leaf lettering. The name 'HACK' seems fitting.
