12 degrees on the sides and it would come to a point in the back.

If I take 4 ft as half the width (and height) and 12° angles , I end up with a boattail that'd have to be nearly 19 ft long before the ends meet in a point.
Tan 12° = [width/2] / [boattail length]
[boattail length] = [width/2] / Tan 12 = 4' / 0.21 = 18.8 ' to meet up in the middle.
One of us got their math wrong
