Cutty Cabin step down on a V 20

Have a 1978, V20, Cutty Cabin. To enter the cabin you have to step down. It appears to me that there should be some type of floor that is at the same level as the bottom of the door. The step down makes it dificult to get to the bow anchor line, load the boat on a trailer and pull up the trolling motor. How have you Cutty Cabin owners overcome these problems? Is there suppose to be a step down?
Thank You
