You want to to trace the deck on your boat. Each boat deck will be slightly different depending on how you installed the deck beam,bulkheads and mini-beams. also the hieght and radius of you sheer clamps will all effect the way the deck lays down. So tracing the deck and adding a bunch of material at the edges is required insurance. Your only limitation on overlap is your homemade gage to find the sheer clamp as you nail the deck down.
Good luck.
