I went a bit of a different route since it was a build and liked one that I saw done this way. I didn't want to lose a bunch of real estate under the gunnel for access to batteries etc so mine is only set down a bit. I had the extra beam so I think it's about 44" across and drains overboard. It holds a lot of fish and even large Halibut easily. It makes the back deck feel safer on rough days and it's a decent height to work on. I also like to lean against while in steering and prefer to stand anyways. I wasn't sure I liked it when I first saw it but wouldn't trade it now for anything else. You can see the room with an 80cm Spring and a little shorter one....
