Back to Storage

Hello All,
I was wondering if some storage could be created in the cuddy under the V-Berth similar to the one in the forward area with the teak cover. They sound hollow when you tap on the sides and if there aren't stringers under there at the very least I could stow life jackets and rope there. Seems a simple mod to use the dremel to cut a neat rectangle and save the cut out piece for a lid. Anyone know if its hollow inder the port and starboard bunks?
