the stern's transom plate seems to be too tall as I think it should be about half the hull height as it appears to be 3/4 of hull height. is that hull width about 10.66" wide?

Hi DavidP YES the hull is about that width but that 's the height shown on the plan an its got to have another 1an a half inches added to that as well to take the flight deck
