Wah,
Yeah,the cuddy is a bit small for sure,but it leaves a heck of a lot of room in the cockpit.
I sure wouldn't worry about altering it.You have to do what's best for your kind of fishing.Heck if you change things it may give the rest of us Tsunami/Sceptre guys some good ideas.
Take a gander at member Entourages pilot house on his 23.It's a radical change from a regular 23 but it is liked by many of us.
We also run 8.5' to 10'foot rods on my Tsunami for Salmon.
We have about 20 rod and reel setups on the boat at all times.
Most of the time we will be actively using 6 to 8 with any unused spares in the rocket launchers.
At the end of our fishing,(anywhere from 5 to 10 days), we break down the rods and place them in the front hatch that runs from the fuel tank to the cuddy.
I only have a 55 gallon tank so my hatch may be a bit longer.It's still to short for most of my rods(it just about 8')so we have to break them down to fit them in.It is a good place to keep them when we are away from the boat and I have a good locking system on it for security.
I had my canvas work done so that clearance for people up to 6'2 can easily walk under it.It does make getting rods out of the launchers a bit difficult though.
