Strip: Cockpit Question

Hi,
Last summer I finished an Outer Island. The boat is great.I built it with the ocean cockpit but I think I'd like to change it over to the keyhole cockpit. Does anyone have words of wisdom for this concerning the size of opening.(or any other pointers) My current plan is to just by a spray skirt that fits the Impex production Outer Island and "eyeball" the dimensions.I don't have any template for the opening so I'm a little nervous about the operation.
