If you mean the large cutout in the stern, then no. The center consoles that came from Wellcraft with a full transon use a molded removable insert there. You can see it leaning up against the post just next to the cap. Essentially, this boat is a I/O hull with a special cap. The cap is unlike most CC's which, IIRC, do not have the "battery" compartments on the corners of the back end of the deck. But they do have the flip up hatches on the transom.


This is the insert when it was still installed:

I did not have to cut anything to get the cap off.

Just remove about 200 screws and lift. ;)
