My plan as of now is a modified benroy profile with a 20" radius there to keep it a continuous curve/piece.

Looking amazing by the way. I really like how you covered up the electrical box area and still allowed airflow and visibility of the charge controller.

I like the benroy profile, that's why I kept the hard break. I think it also allows for the galley countertop to sit out further. After I had finished I realized I could have moved the whole galley back, allowing for a couple more inches of cabin length. It really wasn't that difficult to cover it. I layed the flat piece first and left the curved piece a little long and sanded it flat after the pl3 dried. I actually made a mistake when I first cut out my profile in the back, that's why my hatch extends past the frame.
I'm an electrician by trade. There's reasons why you need airflow, proper fusing and disconnects.
