Expanded Side Panel Drawing

Notes:
- Dimensions shown horizontally are distances from the AFT SIDE of the stern transom, since the side panels fit OUTSIDE the transom.
- Dimensions are taken from a DATUM LINE shown in red above, which is a line drawn at 90 degrees from the bottom of the stern transom.
- Dimensions shown vertically in BLACK are distances from the Datum Line to the top of the side of the hull (before adding the gunwale).
- Dimensons shown vertically in RED are distances from the Datum Line to the bottom of the side of the hull.
- Draw all lines shown on the inside of the panels. Cut approximately 2mm outside the lines and plane off excess after assembly.
