The easy way to arrive @ a rough estimate would be to take the
OverallDimensions & reduce them slightly for WallThickness &
additionally reduce the Height by the GroundClearence ~ so lets say

5.5 x 5.5 x 14.5 = 438.625

        Then subtract an approximation of the EngineBayArea

5.5 x 1.5 x 4 = 37.125

        & then subtract an approximation of the FrontseatPedestals

4.5 x 1 x 2 = 9

        & I would think that somewhere around 390CuFt might be a safe bet ~

These dimensions are all pretty much WAGs ~ I'll try to get some
better measurements tomorrow if I can remember to do it ~~

                                                                                        ORR ~ DeanB
