sceptre to CC conversion - bow toe kick

[captsuperfly]

I'm still planning a full stringers up rehab on a 79 Sceptre that I'm planning on converting to a CC.

I have a builder with a mold for a cap. My plan was to keep the liner in the boat, but am curious if anybody has done this and can comment on a difference in Toe kick under the gunwale at the bow. The Sceptre/Savage liner seems to have a shelf under the front gunwale that causes the liner to project further into the cockpit than the regular CC liner?

I've attached a picture of a boat I found online that had the same liner and appears to be a similar conversion.

I'm worried that that liner will put my feet way in back of me if I dig in on that front gunwale. I fish in rips often and need the toe kick.

Thanks for any advice!
Mike
