So, the last thing I'm going to do to the boat tail is document it: take a few more pictures and a bunch of measurements. Then it comes off, gets pulled apart and most of it goes out with this week's recycling.

If I had somewhere convenient and out of the weather to put it, I'd hang on to it until I have version 2 made.

But at least I have some hard numbers that are an incentive to make/improve the next one.
