I did one strip at a time. as I got one fitted, I drilled the holes and put some 3/16 bolts in to hold it in place. After about a few days I did the same again with the next strip.  It took a while and a lot of thinking about how to do it. I have both strips on each side right now held in place by all 3/16 bolts and nuts. The boat has been sitting since last summer so the strips should hold the bent shape when I take them off to paint and varnish them and the boat and put them back on with the rivets.</blockquote>
