15' bayliner question

[FORCE2]

Can I cut into the fiberglass under the pads of the front seats of my 86 bayliner capri open bow for extra storage?

Force2,<br /><br />Some places under those pads, may be the hull itself. I don't know your boat, so I am only guessing, but I would be very carefull. I own a Bayliner and from experience with my boat if Bayliner took the time to put it there, it needs to be there. Once again I am just guessing. If someone out there knows for sure, hopefully the will resopond.

Re: 15' bayliner question

I think you are talking about the bow seats in an open-bowed hull? If so, the seats are probably molded into the decking which goes on the hull as a unit. You might be able to see under there from in underneath the steering console, but I'm not sure. I had a 15' Chrysler that had some room underneath the bow seats, but that was an early-'70s model. Your Capri might have flotation foam up under there, and the hull angle might be such that there is little room anyway.<br /><br />got to figure out what is under there first.
