Does anyone have a measured profile for a scad-about? Trying to decide between a Rimple and a Scad-about profile for my next build(or some combination of the two).
Thanks

I think the Scad-a-bout is pretty simple - a 24" radius at the the font and a 36" radius at the back, judging by eye.

The Great lakes is modified Scad-About or so it is said in the web site.

Thanks,
I was thinking of doing just opposite of what angib said and doing a 36" radius in front and a 24" in back. I need the hatch to open at the tallest part as I am planning on building to haul a scooter inside. Don't have any cad programs, but may make a full size cardboard mockup. Thinking of going 5 wide 5 tall by 9.5 to 10 long.
Thanks

Put a spoiler on it and give it a square butt. My next (Oh God not again) build.
