If your cap is anything like the later 80s models the inner walls can be trimmed as needed. Whatever they are adding structurally isn't dependent on the height provided you don't cut them so short they don't reach down all the way to the new floor. I remember trimming mine a bit but don't recall how it all happened. The cap must not have fit quite right so out came the grinder. Can't remember if the cap was re-lifted or not. I think I just covered the carpet well and ground it on the spot.

It's great to see people still rebuilding these boats!...and outside too. You go!
