Mine came with a filler and it's very easy to make one if you don't have one. The measurements would probably be specific to yours since all of these boats were built semi-custom. Mine is 3/8" plywood with a 5/8" X 3" fiddle across the front to match the fiddle around the berth. 3/4" X 3/4" cleats are screwed into the plywood and the fiddle as well as to the sides of the VEE to support the filler. We also mounted a cleat on the bulkhead above the door to the chain locker where we hook in the fiddle of the filler. Then we mounted padeyes in the opposite end of the filler and on the headliner. When the filler isn't in use it hangs up there out of the way. Harry Schell 1981 V42CC
