Default modifying cobra cat

Hi All,
Am going sailing in whitsundays in about 3 weeks on a cobra cat, would love
ot have some storage in the hulls if it is possible. This cobra is
fibreglass (not glass over ply, just glass). Is it possible to remove the
deck, fill in some of the hull with foam for additional security, then glass
in some additional bulkheads and some storage?

i had a caper cat last year that had excellent storage in the hulls and i
would love to be able to carry some food/clothes/fuel in the hulls of this
boat. I would have to start and complete the job within 3 weeks. the
compartment need not be completely water tight, but enough to prevent some
splashing. Any and all comments welcome!

Thanks

Shaun


I don't know your boat, but I do have a rule about changing the weight
or distribution of such in a stock vessel. Don't! If you need
more storage, get some seabags or something and strap them in. That is
my opinion but I am an amateur..
