The maximum bow in the roof 10 ~ 4.5". Remember this boat has been stretched 10% from the original design.

The roof width is ~ 6' inside the cabin. The roof is made from 3/4" thick foam with 12 oz glass on both sides.

So it’s 10 feet wide and the arch is 4.5” from baseline at the center? Exactly the info I was looking for.

Thank you.

My mistake, bad typing.

The boat is ~ 6’ wide inside the cabin. The roof extend another ~6” on each side. The bow is correct, ~ 4.5”.

Next question. How much is the same offset across the front of the roofline. I’m sure that’s not clear, so will add a pic with a red line indicating what I mean. Hope that helps.

Thanks.

Great. Thanks. Building a completely different boat, but with similar dimensions. Trying to figure out how to make my roofline look good too.

I appreciate the help.

Poured most of the foam in the floor today, still need to trim and seal the holes.

Awesome work. How do you plan on sealing the holes up? That must have hurt a bit to cut so many in preps for foam.
