Has anyone done this?It is next on the list.
Maleo has a cockpit about 4' wide and 6' long,with steering gear and stowage underneath.The scuppers are in the transom and at the forward corners.I was thinking about building two hatches as large as possible,raised above the actual floor about 2".The hatches would then be the walking area and the cockpit floor would be a gutter all the way around and between the hatches.
As for material,I like ply around 5/8",with beams under.SWMBO's pa votes for teak(EEK!)
What do you think?
