    I have an 86 Sunspot Skier I could measure up for you. It might be later in the week until I can post measurements though.

    My engine cover base sits on to p of the floor and the plastic flip cover sits flush on top of it. I will post some pictures of it (out of the boat) and get some rough dimensions for you. I'll also measure my engine height since I would hate to give you dimensions for you to build it and then it hits the top of the engine!

    Are you doing a full rebuild down to the hull? Are you doing it yourself? I would be interested to know what you are planning to spend on materials so that I can start budgeting for my eventual rebuild. I didn't know how imperative stringer replacement was on Supras when I bought the boat last year, I think I would have still bought it because I love the classic lines but I would have definitely tried to talk them down on the price!

    Cheers,
    Zach

    Nice pictures! Thanks for the information. My wife is a little nervous to let me tear apart our boat, so we'll see if I can convince her otherwise. I started tearing out the waterlogged foam and I am hoping to be able to use it one more season before having to do the stringers. I'll post some pictures of what I have done so far in my own thread shortly.

    here are a few images of my engine cover, mine sits on top of the deck, currently it was loose but has brackets that would attach it to the floor. I drew up a print last night and realized I forgot to measure the thickness so I'll check that as well as verify my engine height from the floor tonight.
