If you construct the tail as shown, there's an extremely high confidence that the flow will separate almost immediately and never reattach.
You'll be partially 'stuffing the wake', as NASA did with the Cd 0.238 stinger, added behind their 'Project Shoebox' Ford Econoline's initial, Cd 0.242, 'curved-contour' truncated boat tail.
