allright randleman, this is what i did.
I removed the existing rod boxes
fit a couple of spacer blocks

i ran some 3" pvc thru the spacers for cable runs
then i cut some 2X6 for a shelf, installed teh new shelf with construction adhesive, glassed over the top, this really stiffened up the hull sides
next to come is carpet and rod holders, I'll post some pics when its done. I got the idea from an older Formula, that shelf is nice, you can throw junk in there and it doesn't fall out, I'm going to use the original trim for now, but plan to make new trim later
