I say build what you want and make it as big as it needs to be. I would not try to save two foot and then not have the room you need.

Got a few fiberglass splices done today. 6 more and I can go 3D.

Hmm. Apparently screwed up adding the pics. I’ll try again.
Re: Shanty boat build - self design BBC materials
