Bottom of the hull gets marked & drilled/slotted for the strut assembly installation. The Speedmaster strut brackets are cross drilled lower & cut down for clearance. The center section of the hull is offset but the strut runs centered between the sponsons which you can see by the ruler placed inside the hull. This is a good thing as again I will run the soft "S" shaped stuffing tube which has been proven to actually offer less drag because it controls cable whip better than a straight tube.
