I love the floor idea. I will be taking this idea in some form or fashion for my 1542!

That is true and there is one trip I went on with a friend where I considered the need to have those compartments locked. Even thought about a bar that goes crossways over all three hatches and locks down at both sides. I would want it completely removable so that it's not a tripping hazard like a hasp would be. An internal cabinet lock with just the key hole exposed would be the way to go. I don't ever leave my gear in my boat overnight unless it's in my yard and I know that I'm using the same gear the next day. Otherwise it goes in the house, in the car, or even in the hotel room.abevelheimer said:I like that rod holder idea and you can put a lock and hasp on it as well if you want to leave your gear in it overnight or some sort of locking mechanism to keep thieves at bay if you park it outside ect.

But here are some pictures of the semi-completed boat. Nearly every surface you see other than the storage lids are 3/4" or 1" foam insulation i lieu of plywood.
1/2" plywood would have been minimum for my decks and walls. A sheet is approximately 40 lbs. There is the equivalent of about 3 sheets between the decks, floor, and walls. It would have been 120 lbs. of wood.LDUBS said:Using sheet foam for the floor/deck membranes is pretty cool. I wonder how much weight you saved with your method.
That is a battery compartment. I relocate one of my two size 27 batteries from the rear to that front-ish area whenever I install my new F25 gas outboard to offset some of the weight forward. This also provides space for my fuel tank in the back.jethro said:Love the design and the little step up to the forward casting platform. Looks really clean and well done. Bravo =D>
