here is another view of forward bilge pump area. Also you can see the handholes in stringers for access under the pedestal seats. I wrestled with cutting these holes for several weeks, I do not like the idea of them being in the stringers, however there wasn't another way to have access, and it was built like that from Sea Ray and lasted 20 years so oh well. At least I can see the hull under there (no foam) the space is about 2ft x 1 1/2 feet so i can keep and eye on things under there if need be.
