2003 Tracker 1654 Side Panels - Foam Filled?

Im restoring/modding a rode-hard and put-up-wet 1654 CC with factory front deck and floor. Anyone know if the side panels that cover up the ribs are foam filled?

This rig could sure use some more below deck storage and the rear bench seems ideal for two hatches as a solution. There is a small amount of foam under battery platforms on each side just in front of the transom, the rear bench is about 2/3 foam-full and there is foam under the front deck. These areas have ~2-inch access plugs which allowed access with an inspection camera. Can't seem to get access inside/behind the side panels just yet.

I'm thinking so. I've seen a few Tracker builds here that after the panels were removed, there was a rodent's nest in the side panel foam. Pretty sure they like to chew on trolling motor wires too :evil:

If you haven't done so already, check out the mods section and take a peek at a few of the Tracker builds.
