Default width of Transom Well, 23' Sceptre, 1977

sorry, 1978 Sceptre if it matters.

Hello one and all.
I have an opportunity to buy a transom/engine shroud, the three sided hinged thing that covers the top of the engine and helps reduce engine noise. Some use the top as a bait cutting station or a casting platform. They're kinda funny looking but I like the decibel attenuation potential. The item in question is 40" wide, 32" high, 24" deep.
I ask because my lovely 'Seneca' lives in the New England, while I am in the Rocky Mts.
Yes, I have already searched and googled. Figured this could be readily answered by one of the helpful experts here.
Thank you.

This is what my transom looks like.

Don't think its going to work. My boat is not near me either but I believe the well is around 48". The boat with the shroud was designed for a single engine while your Sceptre has room for twins. If you can get it cheap enough, I'm sure it could be modified to fit.

Thank you. I agree. I assume the amount of modification + my lack of fiberglassing experience makes it untenable. Paying someone to modify it would be too expensive. Maybe I can coosa board one for a proper fit then fiberglass it. That would be a big project for me.
