<br />Renzo,
Is the inside of your hull lined with wood or was that part of your mod?

Joe,
The wood at the inside of the hull is part of the modification. (Sorry, I should have made that clear I did this mod a number of years ago and now I take alot of the work for granted). What I did was to glue 1x2s to the inside of the hull and then screwed 1/4"plywood to the them. Same for the bottom, only I used 1/2" ply for that.

For those of us considering this modification , this stuff might be the answer to trimming the holes. It is available from JC Whitney.

Dave,
I have the cutouts at home and will measure them for you. As I mentioned previously the starboard side on mine was a single layer of fiberglass and the port side had a plywood backing. If the 1/4" dimension is correct then my port side was closer to 1/2".

I am hoping that I a posting a picture. This is how I added the additional storage behind the port settee cushion. If I had it to do over I believe I would of only had to access doors. This really created a lot of additional storage and I wanted to thank you for the idea.

Thanks,

Actually the panels are individual wood tongue and groove boards. I have had them behind the settee on the port side only for a while to make sure I liked them. When I added the storage, I just continued with them. The ones behind the settee are held in place with small screws. The ones behind cushion in the storage area were glued.

have you had to deal with condensation?
I like the look of the wood panelling but on cold nights aboard we get significant condensation.
