I'm done with stitching a 17LT and am tweaking the alignment. I know it's OK to trim the bottom panels at the stern, but is this pushing the limit?

RE: Stern and Bulkhead Alignment
That is not too bad - On my CH18, I had nearly twice that much to trim from the bottom at the Stern.
Just take your time and trim and retain the shape around the curve. For mine, I used some 60 Grit sandpaper and did it by hand - didn't take that long to do and came out looking and fitting just fine.

Thanks Bob... Now... the forward bulkhead squeezes in but the sides and bottom are not aligned. Is this related to the stern alignment problem, or do I just loosen the stitches to make the bulkhead fit symmetrically?
Here's a better view of the stern alignment issue:
