Tapering and fitting the shorter strips is more than half the work in
building a stripper. If it is not done very carefully you end up
having to fill with a lot of epoxy/filler. Even using wood flour the
fill is pretty noticable.

Granted, but if you want a hard chine boat, that's one way to do it.
