My opposition to wood in this is I'm taking the time to go through and rebuild everything - I never want to have to do any of this again. I do not have a garage to store this in, and while I cover it as best I can pooling rain water or snow on occasion get by the cover and get the inside of the boat wet.Was there foam along the sides when you removed the covering panels? I'm hoping there wasn't as that would give me somewhere to add foam evenly should I add more storage to the front in place of some of the foam up there.Rod rack is looking nice - I'm assuming you'll be building a box around it the rest of the way as you go.</blockquote>
