...set out to put knee blocks in my Prijon Rocket.  I've put them in other boats,
using your directions with great results, but I knew the shape of the Rockit's
hull was going to be a PITA to get the minicell to fit.

Here's what I did.  got one of those contour tools.  You know the thingie with all
the stainless steel pins that slide in and out so you can copy shapes?

Used it to make a cardboard template for cutting the minicell.

Total time from walking out the back door to having a nearly perfect fit with the
minicell, 40 min, and that includes dragging the boat outside, coming back in
for a Sharpie, scrounging around for the cardboard, losing the Sharpie, taking
the cardboard away from the Dalmatian, and relocating the Sharpie.

The price of the contour tool was well worth it.  (I needed one anyway.)
