What about snapping a chalk line down the center of the hull? You can find the center of the keelson at the transom and bow, then snap a line between them to use as a reference for the skid rail locations? I agree, they have to do something for stability/alignment of the boat in the water, and they should be straight with the keelson. They are also cut at a 13 degree angle .......... so in my mind that would add to stability.
That's not a bad idea. In the back by the transom you can easily find the middle, and if you snap a line from that point through the bow you should get a straight line over the keelson. I like that. I will give that a try before drilling holes through the battens and bottom. Thanks for the suggestion.
