The main thing is that the planking should flow smoothly across the frames and a simple check with a plank laid across will highlight any high/low spots.

I've not seen any problems with frame 16, can you post a photo of your build as its out of the ordinary to consider building up the false keel.

if u havnt got to far in your build could you show me a pic please hi sorry mate no pics..but if the rib is low run a spare plank up the edge of the rib glue it and when dry sand it to the shape and height u need it to be..but run a plank over your ribs and mark where it needs packing or fairing..i used different thickness planks depending on the gap u need to fill...good luck paul cheers benny
