Perfect!

I'm guessing that's an off-the-shelf tent that just happens to fit perfectly?

Wife in the tent. Off the shelf tent that I modified somewhat. Boat has an original small camper cabin but the tent doubles the room with standing headroom. Attaches to the boat with fastex buckles and snaps.

Well the boat could be a lot bigger--like a big cat cruiser with a cabin in the middle as big as an rv.
