I have a Ridgeline wheelhouse that I got last year. I put a spear hole in it as soon as I got it, but with the way the floor framing is laid out the best place in my opinion was right in the middle near the front. This gave me a 2'x4' hole which I liked pretty good. The only problem was that it gave only 2' on either side and in the front just enough room for a small tripod chair to sit in. This set up really made me nervous about someone falling in. So I'm in the process of moving the spear hole to one side. This will make the new hole only about 19" wide and 4' long. This will give us 4' of room beside the hole and the same amount of room in front as before, but much better situated in every way. I'm just a little concerned that the hole might be a little undersized. What are the opinions out there on this score? I'm going to use a piano hinge and back the under side of the hole cover because there will be an ATV wheel or track right on top of it in transit.
