[QUOTE="DaveInGA, post: 262286, member: 166"] snookslayer, Some comments in red in the quote below: Think about the storage you have and the storage you would like to have. Think about where to put batteries, perhaps add a couple hatches, etc. Lots of ways to make these. In the case of this boat, with salt water use, I'd think on how to make the drain to the back as smooth as possible and not mix storage with bilge by building up over the bilge and "floor" my storage areas above the bilge. Finally, thinking about flotation and a leak in the hull and how your current flotation and bilge pump would handle a large leak with a large volume of water coming in your boat. Think about what would happen if your boat flipped over or was swamped. Would you lose everything or would it mostly be tied down and would the boat float upside down, giving you something to hang onto in the ocean? Hope this helps, [/QUOTE]
