    40 some odd inches wide, maybe a bit under 30 long edges rest on the hull mid sections not very deep. Just trying to keep stuff behind the mid bench from getting wet with a little gap.. in hindsight I'd of use some scrap coosa and skin for perf but was trying to go light.

    Very seat of the pants guessing.

    Here is a luan test part that I will glass the edges of. Then I will test to see how it does with performance. I have a theory the wind is tumbling in the fwd cockpit and possibly hurting speed.
