Re: I want to cut into some bump outs....

On both of my boats that area was wood but fiberglass covered and had holes for the storage. It may not be original.

Found a similar one (same year and model) and no apparent storage up-front: http://forums.iboats.com/boat-restoration-building-hull-repair/1989-capri-1950-budget-rebuild-restore-418521.html

The upholstery on the bow cushions isn't original, and the carpeting on the platforms under them doesn't look to be original either. The OP should be able to open up those compartments from the top.

The seats in the back are removeable yes but its open to the engine compartment. Any thing i put in their will just fall into the engine comp.

I'm pretty sure that's not the way it came from the factory. One side should be a battery compartment and the other should have an insulated tray with drain to act as a built-in cooler. I'm becoming convinced someone did a restoration on your boat and did away with several storage compartments.

I dont have any thing like that. I looked up into the ski locker thinking that if by some chance i might find some drain holes and all i found was the one in the bow for the anchor. The two seats up on the bow are sollid. I apreciate the feed back.
