5-Wide Convertible

Crap. Got bored. Started playing in the metaphorical sandbox again.

While I've been working on producing a set of step-by-step plans for the Scuttlebutt, I got off on a tangent and started making some slight changes that could become my next build.

:thinking:

Its still the same basic design as the original, but its now 5-wide! One of my worries about building a 5-wide was the cost of materials vs. a 4-wide. For that reason, there is raised 4'-0" wide section which will be the convertible roof, and the galley hatch will only be 4'-0" wide. I'm considering making the raised middle section a little taller, but I think its a good start...

:twisted:

Hmmm... Maybe raise the center higher and put some fixed plexiglass windows in some cutouts on the sides of it?
