If you make the 4 panels come to a point you'll have a full boat-tail, that would be the most efficient - though you should already get most of the potential gains with your current tail.

Did you calculate the wake area reduction ?

I was thinking about 2 or 3 inch long plates, continuing the line of the boat-tail - they're only there to help the air separate cleanly.

On the bottom I'd add a somewhat longer (10" ?) horizontal plate - like a stern plate.
