Have you considered an aerodynamic trailer?

Forgot to add. I am not attempting to atain the ideal boattail. I think that I can obtain 90% of ideal for 10% of the effort and time. Trailer would be too complicated and expensive for me. Did you look at the link to the kitplane fuselages that were flat. Several other aircraft have flat fuselages.
