Same idea…

My V21 tested dry but I had it redone - entire outer fused as solid unit, eliminated the trim into one solid fiberglass unit.
Had the transom inside also fused eliminating the “seam” of cap fiberglassed into a solid mass.
Suppose it could now easily handle a 300 HP outboard but the V21 rating was for max 200 .

Bow slider design to windshield section can allow water to drip into the cuddy so that would be a re engineer project . My solution ….had bow slider canvas cover designed with rubber edge gasket and snaps . Looks great, easily removable, and solved the issue.
Nice. I've been pondering that cuddy sliding hatch issue.
