Cuddy -center hatch

[Sean]

Looking around the gallery I noticed a few of the boats (reelapeelin to be exact) that the cuddy floor and the center compartment are not separated. RP you have a cooler placed there. Is that a modification you made or is that just the design of the boat? I would like to utilize that space, which is know wasted to me because of the small hatch. I know I can put a bigger hatch, but I would like to have them as one especially for the cooler. But I don’t want to go cutting anything that could be a structural support for my boat with out running it by the experts. ;D
Thanks!!!
