The boat looks nice and your work looks extra-clean.
I did more reading on the hard-spot issue, and a couple people gave some
advice that sounded good to me.
The advice was that you wanted to avoid adding support members that only touch the hull in a small area... meaning, that the small area would carry a
comparatively heavy load.
That makes sense to me, and looking at the pictures doesn't apply to your work.
It looks like the grid you built is well-formed and makes fairly consistent contact with the hull, meaning that it should spread forces fairly evenly without unduly concentrating the weight in any one spot.
Another poster on a different forum, basically cautioned someone about "over engineering" their solution... and rebuilding the boat to a higher standard than when it was designed and originallyI built.
I think that also applies here.
Keep up the awesome work! I hope that you enjoy the whole process!
Sincerely,
