Per the image attached things are a bit cramped up in the back of my 162 xl. What I am looking for advice on is if there is a potential issue cutting the fiberglass to the left and right of the current bilge/stow away area (Red boxed in second image.. It sounds hollow, putting an endoscope in there resulted in not much info other than looking like bare fiberglass in there. I really want to separate the gas tank to the Starboard and the electrical to the port while leaving the splashwell/scupper open to drain to the bilge.
I am totally fine with bare transom in the rear with a hanging splashwell. I don't put anything of weight on there except tools when working. Is there a potential to lose stability on the water from such a modificataion? Has anyone tried something like this before because I was unable to find what I was even asking after a search.
Thanks!
