Like the title says is anyone familiar with the American 16 sailboats.
I want to add some more stowage space and had thought about cutting out and fiber glassing a couple of small lockers into the cockpit seats. The problem I have is that I know the boat has foam flotation in it and as far as I can tell it is good so if I do the glassing properly and use watertight doors should I have to worry about screwing up the flotation of the hull. Sorry if this sounds stupid is the only boat I have ever owned with flotation foam.
I am including a pic with what I have in mind please excuse the mess the pic is from when I first purchased the boat was the best one I had to show my idea.
Thanks,
yonu
