272 Head Sink

[drfstop]

Has anyone modified their head sink for another use, such as storage, shelving, etc? It seems to me that two sinks on a boat this size is not necessary and this space could be better utilized for something else. I've upgraded my galley sink to pressure water, making it more easily usable.
Thanks for any ideas or even drawings, if you have them.

I would go for it Rob. I modified the galley sink and stove compartment on my O'Day 222 about three years ago and created a new storage compartment under the stove for my pots and pans. It came out pretty decent. I have a new stainless steel galley sink and I used a stainless steel steam table pan for my stove to sit on which gained me a lot of extra space that I didn't have. I don't miss that ugly fiberglass sink/stove insert that was in my galley cabinet. In fact, I wound up giving it to a friend of mine. If you have an idea, be sure you're right, then go for it.
