Groovy tunes. Sounds much better than the screams of a router.

I use a router, or sometimes a plane to trim decks. I make a jig out of two strips of ply about 8 inches long with a deck sized spacer between. It works such that when you straddle the ply with it, it feels along the side of the hull with the top strip showing on the deck top where the hull is. With this simple jig I can mark the edge of the hull on the deck, and this gives me a line to rip to first with a jigsaw. I run a little proud of the line, then come back with the plane or trim bit. It might take a little more time, but I hate the noise and dust the router produces, but enjoy the precision. Trimming the deck first leaves me with a 1/16th to remove rather than a 1/2″ cut.
