    Looking at the construction of my boat, it looks like Bobby glassed the whole length of the crease for stiffness?? Love the way my boat is built, it's a brick chit house!! It just makes it a bit difficult when you have to run a few wires thru numerous bulkheads but who cares!
    377 Kaamas and 38 KVs have also one... the difference in width comes from the upper kink in a Scarab.
    Come to think of it...quite funny that a Scarab is 37.7 and a Cig flatdeck was a 37.6... and quite similar in their hulls...

    He was right the crease is hard to keep straight even with the tools we have nowadays.

    Mikey, actually a Scarab is 37.6' (37' 7"); and yes isn't it an interesting coincidence, crease and all - Jeff
