I wasnt exactly sure where or how to trim and attach the strongback. I wound up following some examples from photos Id seen online, and I trimmed it short enough to let it mate to the back of the breasthook. Its hard to tell just yet, but that may have created an excessive downward curve. Time will tell. Once I get the bow and the remaining parts of the sheers faired in preparation for the decking, I should be able to tell if it will need a little shim on the top or not.
