Simple shelf. Cut two slits in the starboard at an angle.This allows the board to lean out at the top for more room and still allow the hatch below to open. Notch out 1/8" ply for the table leg when dropped to bed configuration. Then slide in wood. This holds a bunch of bulky stuff such as PFD's, boat cushions,frisbee's, dogs water toys and a beach shade tent. Two swim noodles lay fore and aft across the top. Ventalation is such that damp items can still air out. Want to reconfigure to a stock boat? Just lift out the board.The factory carpet still fits underneath.
