There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its
hands.

You seek problems because you need their gifts.


Several things, the wedge and screw is a good idea but its going to
make work later, a fillet and strip would work to provide a chem and
phys bond.

second if she is seaking really bad and you are in the yards have her
tanks drained (yes everything drained) set her in the water and see
how she sits. I'd be willing to bet she will not sit fair and you will
need to adjust her perminant ballest. third, rudder size, shape, and
how it's fit to the boat might also need some looking into.

Ive built a couple big wood fishing boats that have cought a rock or
two and had them come back for repair.
most times it's not a big deal but i always check a boats set and
check her rudder and fittings if she is off.
most times ballest is a problem.
