Additional cabin storage

1) For these older cabins, has anyone come up with a good system for adding storage space around the sides? I've had a hard time figuring out what to do because I don't want to drill into those walls. Right now on one side I have some netting stretched and I have glued hooks onto the walls to hold the bottom of the net, but those always come off.

2) Is there flotation under the left and right sides of the cabin? I was wondering if it could work to cut access into those spaces.

Thanks for any tips.

I have a 74 as well, and you are correct no foam. My father cut out a hatch on the starboard side and fashioned a lid for it. There is actually more storage under there than you think.
