Love the panel too! How was the stability with that tower on there? I know the V's can be pretty rocky with such a deep v and farely narrow waterline beam. I like the concept though. As far as making it detachable, maybe have the ends of the top and the bottom of the tower rounded, and have one side or the other slotted to fit together with pins to hold them together? That way you just pull the pins and presto! the tower comes off. The controls would be another issue altogether though. Maybe hinge it to just fold forward. I'm looking at the possiblity of fabbing up a suedo-keel fin to mount just forward of mid-ships for better tracking, and also fabbing an extension to be mounted and bonded onto the chines for more lift and a drier ride.
