I just placed some photos and descriptions of how we converted our forward cabin into a convertable office on our 450. Actually, Phil Herring help me put this out there. My system was being a little stubborn with uploading the photos, so he was good enought to take a word document with all of this in it and posted it for me. Anyway, I thought this might be helpful if you are looking for a way to add more storeage. As you'll see, it will make for a great workroom too after retirement and we start full time cruising. Hope it's helpful. Mike Pilolla s/v Carolina
