OK, here is another option. This option is showing the Macon with the complete workings of the CSS Water Witch, cut in half and added onto the ironclad as is. I am including a picture or two of the Water Witch repro down in Columbus GA. I think I got it about right. The Macon being wider then the Water Witch, much fill in with heavy timbers would have been need. Also, the skirtig on the ironclad extends lower over the wheels, so again, heavy timber is added there as well. I am not saying this is what would of happened given time and restrictions on armor/machinery, but it was being contemplated by the builders. The white would be the original Water Witch paddle boxes and housing.
