Hello, asking is allowed, answering is courtesy. Frank

Is there a reason you chose to build her after she was converted to a receiving ship hulk in 1787 when she was anchored in the Thames rather than her design when built to be a fighting vessel in 1774? At that time she was first used to meet incoming foreign vessels, then for holding impressed men before being taken to their assigned ships, thus the new deck in the hold midships. At least you won't have to add masts and rigging

Plan showing the 1787 inboard profile for Enterprise which you show in post #1 above as converted and fitted to a receiving hulk, moored by the Tower of London
Plan below is the inboard profile for the Enterprise 1774 as designed to be an armed fighting ship
