Alec I am also looking at this problem. I am looking at a method
hospitals use for long term
bed ridden. The center of the bed is cut out to allow for easy
breathing and a good head and
chin support. This kinda makes sence to me. But then again I have a
lot more room than you
do. I'll keep ya posted on what I come up with.

Alec, are you going to take the VBT and put it outside, or remove
it altogether? I assume you are also going to have a collapsible or
removable pilot seat so that the passenger can get inside. As I
recall from diving Kyles K-250, it's pretty
tight.
