Well as most projects go, I'm doing a lot more than planned. As I continue getting the old carpet and glue residue off the boat I started thinking about something. My port side storage area (mid walkway). It's very small, but even more so, it's a mother effer to get in there. My amps are in there and they are wired up awful mainly because I just can't get any room to really work in there. Bolting those things up was an act of god.
So I'm wondering if I should make a small rectangular cut out right behind the observers seat. It would NOT be accessible easily, and that's fine. But for those big projects that require amp removal or major wire work, it would be handy to be able remove the seat to get back there. Make a good size rectangular cut that allows access to the top area, and under the shelf it sits on. I'd reinforce the shelf once that wall is cut out. But that would also allow for access to the wiring and such as well.
At the same time I know I'll have to redo the stringers. If it wasn't so late in the season I'd start now. But next year probably. My concerns is weakening that section and then pulling the top cap off. I might need to wait before I make structure cuts.
Thoughts?
