I am familiar with Topo maps and have drawn them in my time. The premise Giles made and I agree is if the boats vertical axis is not aligned (say the boat is tilted on the support ) with the laser's vertical axis the straight line produced by the laser will not be straight when the boat is placed in a straight vertical axis, as when it's put in the water. I ned a Margarita.....(ever notice how good things always start with the letter M ..Montgomery. Martini, Margarita)
