When trimming the deck of my ches 17, I removed the base on my jig saw so I was left with just the saw blade. This way I could work my way around the kayaks changing contours simply by altering the angle of the blade free hand. Its quick and really accurate, leaving only a little wood left for the block plain to take.
Be careful though. This is not the correct use of the tool, so what those fingers...

RE: deck cutting tip.
I should have mentioned that. I have an expensive Porter-Cable jig saw with a fixed shoe, but prefer my cheap Sears model with a floppy shoe that never stays tight no matter what I do to it. -Wes

Hi
I just flipped the kayak over and used the japanese pull saw as lazzlo said, cut easy to about 1mm away from hull.

You can do this much more safely by simply loosening the angle adjustment on the saw plate.
