I'm not familiar with the V20 cc's and never seen one up close in person. Did they have drop in liners? Or glassed in and someone cut it out?

Two side boxes in the bow?
My 84 cc does not have such boxes. It has the middle "dug out" in which we usually drop in a porta-potty. With the shape of the bow, I wouldn't think there would be much room to have anything on the sides... rkc

I googled the glass over styrofoam thing. Here's a link I found centered around the discussion. I don't do glass so it is a lot of jibberish glass terminology to me though but basic jist of it sounds logical on the approach.

RoadKing, I think he has a V20 center console. CC gets interchanged a lot to stand for either center console or cuddy cabin. I agree--there's nothing up there in the cuddy but the cutout for the porta potti.

fish well and cooler
Sorry about the confusion guys,forgot that cc could mean center console or cuddy cabin,yes nipper it is a center console,also it does have a drop in liner(factory made).On the bow, port and starboard it has 2 empty boxes with lids on them but they are hollow(when you lift the covers you can see the stringers).So I want to glass them in and make one into a cooler and one into a fishbox,but i am not trying to make a mold just just want to glass them in place,which is why I was using styrofoam to shape the empty hole(bottom and 4 sides each),but if anybody has any easier methods I sure would appreciate some advice!Bluerunner thanks for the link,some good idea's there!This forum is awesome,it has helped me out with alot of the work I have done on my boat!I am thinking about covering the styrofoam with bondo then fiberglassing over it but I dont know if this will effect the insulating value of the styrofoam.Will it? I dont want to be running out of ice in the middle of the day.Gotta keep those fish fresh RIGHT.

casting platforms
the two boxes in your bow were designed as casting platforms. you should have a teak covering board that covers them inside they had a moulded storage bin. they were not deep about 4 inches but gave you a place to store dock lines fishing gear and the likes. i had a 1979 v20 center console that had them. i took mine out and cut the bottoms out then made a fiberglass mold to extend the depth on them thus giving me twice the amount of storage i had. you need to find someone or place that you can get some and then modify as you need. with the teak covers off you should see alot of small holes in the lip of the platforms that is were the liners were screwed into place.
