Re: making more cabin storage
There is a lot less room down there than you may think, especially on a 29. There is a thin stringer down the middle which can be notched. Maybe 8 inches deep on one side of it and 10 on the other side by an other 8 or so wide.
On the plus side, it runs all the way from the dash board to the front bulkhead. I kept the cockpit cover and spare parts down there. Was always dry.
I cut the top but you could go thru the kick panel as well.
Used a Roto Zip for most of the cutting.

Re: making more cabin storage
Fountainclimber - have you tried this on your 38'? I'm considering it on mine. Also, how do you keep the seat bottom from sliding around after the modification?
