John, when I was brainstorming ideas for my deck, I looked very closely at your photos. I figured I could avoid your angle/joint in front of the cockpit by bending the plywood for a continuous flow, keep the direction going up to provide more footroom, and narrow the center section for paddle clearance. Your photos were a stepping stone for my design. The photo below shows the cheap plywood deck templates carved (pattern making) in place.
