Any tips, references or photos of waterline on a lapstrake 16ft? Photos on trailer maybe?

I have the remnants of line on boat, so I can locate ok. Seems a bit tricky to cross over laps. Is the line painted across the edge of the lap?

Thanks,
David

yes the water line is painted around lap edges.
I launched my boat last weekend and the oil from my outboard , (which would not stay running) left a perfect waterline around hull, that is one way. A lot of people wait until boat is in water then mark it.

I used a lazser light to conect the few point I had.

Worked very well.

The latest issue of WOODEN BOAT magazine has an excellent article about painting the waterline on lapstrake boats. Great info!
