BIG project, my sympathy, but the first time you take it out in rough water, you will know for sure it was worth it.
There is so much room under the deck, you will be able to do most anything you need to do without pulling the cap ( skinny and flexible helps). Pull the fuel tanks, cut an access hole between the bunks and you should be golden. Be sure to reinforce the forward section of the hull, Potter made a mistake when he omitted the water ballast tank and did not add some reinforcement to take care of the reinforcing that was omitted.
Welcome to CSC and good luck with a great project
