A question for you guys that have built BBIII's

Brandon, my plan for removing the rocker in the rear is to remove the curve in the keel line from the bottom panels in the rear 2/3 of the boat. I'm not sure how to explain it in a way that makes any sense but if you look at the panel outlines for the BBIII, the hull bottom panels, at the keel line, start with a curve in the bow, run to a flat middle section, and then rise again to the stern. My plan is to keep the straight middle section running all the way aft, and the side panels will have to be adjusted a tad as well (anything you take out of the bottom must be added to the side to keep the chine and sheer lines consistent) It only has a touch of rocker in the stern but I think any little bit matters, especially with a mud motor. I will be building a lot of scale models before I do this to make sure it all works out, but it makes sense to me on paper anyways!

Built a few panel models this weekend, and according to the models you can remove the rocker by changing the keel line of the bottom panels, this affects the sides too but it's not too hard to modify them to fit the new bottom outlines. Can't wait to go full scale now!
