    UNTWISTING A BOAT FRAME

    Even though ny Dumas boat is jig built, it still has a slight twist in it. Is there a way to counteract the twist ? All the sponsons, bottom and non trips are all covered. I was about to start sheeting the deck when I saw it. Its not like a pretzel but it is definitely noticable. Thanks.
