Paul - here's all that has to be trimmed from a factory STS plastic hull, which is the reason I use a box cutter with just 3/8" of the blade exposed for the cutting.
Besides which, I have only primitive and a very lean tool box around here. For those reasons I am always looking for the simplest way of getting something done that needs modification.

I once built a 16' sailboat with only 5 tools - a straight and Phillips screwdriver, a palm size rasp, a carpenter's saw and an electric drill. And, it sailed - except it always wanted to go to starboard because that side was a bit shorter than the port side.
