My 74 Javelin has plenty of issues, probably most more important than this, but: the floor in the cuddy is rotten and I would like to fix it. Fixing that is going to be a bear with the tiny access hole. In addition, just getting literally anything in and out of the cuddy - even so much as a life jacket - is a PITA with that tiny access hole.
I was thinking I could cut it about twice as wide as it is and make my own custom cuddy door - or just leave it open as with the older Javelins. Is there any risk in cutting a bigger access hole to the cuddy on this boat? Structural integrity of the deck? Taking on water in a capsize? Anybody tried it?
