Cutting out aft fish box

[No grave but the Seacraft]

Mine was cut out by the previous owner when I bought it. The cut was just inside the gutter. I didn't notice any flex walking on the hatch. The bilge access without it is astounding. The before pic doesn't show much detail but you can really see it in the after. I built a new gutter for the new deck and moved the drain plug to the keel. It holds zero water in the bilge now.

Hers what my bilge looks like after adding all the plumbing.
