But be aware that under the deck there is a layer of wood that is glued on to the bottom of the fiberglass for structural strength. If that wood is allowed, over time, to get wet and not be dried properly it will eventually rot and you will get soft spots on your deck where you walk. You can prevent this or at least slow it down considerable by opening all your deck hatches when the boat is not being used and allowing air to circulate under the deck to dry the wood. I know several persons, including myself, that go as far as placing a small fan into one of the hatches at one end to force air thru the underside area and out the other end.

Thanks for the advice guys. Sounds like I'll be making new covers out of starboard for the boxes in the cabin. And thanks for the advice on the wood under the deck. So far no soft spots and Im a big guy so I would notice them but I will keep an eye on it. Thanks again
