re - Nick, / other Seafari owners -
Nick - I like your list - and this discussion -
interesting on the size of your hatch in the splashwell - I don't think I could fit that size in my splashwell - will measure tonight
a problem I have with duplicating your battery location, is that I put the knee of the center stringer up to the transom, and I don't regret the knee, I considered that crucial, but to the port side of it, I only have about 5 inches before hitting the fishbox... more and more I think that needs to come out -
but I like the boxes, with above deck battery locations better, so pull the fishbox, build the boxes...
but I don't want to build boxes the full depth of the seats - I think I'll lose too much room in the back, building those boxes out that far - I think maybe the seat boxes need to be cut back about 4 - 6 - 8 inches (?) but that eaves the existing splashwell sticking out - so do a wrap around splashwell height extender... or rebuild the splashwell area like in Peter's....
My gas tank extends back well past the floor hatch - I had the floor hatch off this summer, while doing the transom, and you can't access the fill hose connection with the hatch off, short of lifting up the forward end of the tank and sliding the whole tank forward - so I'm guessing I've got the 47 gal tank (???).
Curiouser and curiouser.... I'm betting your splashwell is a good bit wider than mine - I'll take a measurement at the front, between the two seat lids - and come back with that.
Bill
