I could have saved a lot of work, buying this!

Interesting tub design; doesn't go all the way down to the keel.
Reminds me of an Intrepid.
I have a similar Euro style transom on my 18' Sea Hunt; bilge access sucks and water loves to sit there, or leak past the deck plate.
I can't understand why manufacturers make the tub to hold water, rather than raising the transom to hold the motor and have enough room below it for the cables and steering, and make the tub flat.
I'm putting a level swim platform across the whole back.

If I do this again, I'll buy a 20' and cut out the back.
