I thought it was wasted space too, but its great access to wash out the bilge and I also plan to use that space to mount a livewell pump and saltwater washdown pump. Also on my list of things to do is to drain the fish box you are talking about directly through the hull, so it doesn't drain into the bilge. I spend alot of time rinsing that bilge afer fish juice is draining into it all day. On the topic of fishboxes, would anyone happen to have a cover for the front fish box for an 88 cc? I attached a pic, its the more aft and longer cover. My buddy's rear end went through it in some rough seas. Been looking for another one for a while now and would gladly pay cash or trade one of the fingers from my left hand.

I rebuilt mine out of 3/8" starboard with marine Ply backing glassed-in. Works great......
