I was going to put a live well in...the space were my transom speakers are at...and I still can...
But I had the same thought as you...it is done in boats all the time....I just could not drill any more holes in my Flyer...
I use a very nice cooler ...and my big one is a barrel cut in half..

Not shure where you live...
But my recommendation is you want a hatch that's very low profile the lower the better that way as you're walking across your decks and different places they don't become a tripping hazard

If I remember mine was 1600lbs..with motor... There's a company in Charleston SC...that builds trailers... I talked to 6 different companies when searching for my trailer..he was the only one that said...send him pictures...wanted weight.. And we're I thought my center of gravity was..on my boat... ...

This is the best picture I can find...
If I remember...i epoxy a brass tube...to the escutcheon to the back of the transom.....

You...will eventually want to seal up these frames...
So being planed or sanded well ...will be a good idea...
Just my 2 cents...

Carl...
So beautiful...love the look ...
Will seek back in and go back in time to catch up on your build...
Miss everyone...y'all stay safe...

Conrad...could not Ulead the picture here...
So sent it buy messenger on your build page...

All this is from memory. ..do 50/50 chance of being right You should have been able to put a center line on your keel... And bevel ..both sides of that line down ...so it follows the lines of the boat... If your keel is lower...you may have to build it up... To bevel it back down. ... Will look back...

Nice...
I known you have to motivate. ...
You can knock it out...

When out Sebastian Inlet...
About 4 miles...it was fun. .had the flyer in the Atlantic Ocean. ...I felt confident that this boat ..will do anything I want to do...

Just wanted to post my favorite pic...

That's is so hard...
Glad you have a plan...
Will be glad when you return and start your build back..
Stay safe...

Hi Kelly in Port St. John...
I built the Flats Flyer. ..

I just call the shop...
When I want to talk to Gayle...
Hope that helps...

Conrad...
I made a center line down keel...
And used a belt sander to make that bevel. ...
Of course checking frequently. ..
