Actually, you are speaking of a utility version of the Barrelback. There is a utility version of the Monaco which is not far removed from the Barrelback design. The walk thru would actually be a walk around the engine on either side.

I don't see why you cannot do it. I am not sure of how much space you actually have in that design. But if it can be done in the Monaco then I have no doubt it can be done in the Barrelback as well.

The Key Largo is already desgined to be a barrel back utility. I am doing in my build what you are suggesting for the Barrel back. I have taken the front cockpit and the center cockpit and put a walkthru between them. I will see if I can take some pictures today and maybe thats what you are looking for. I dont know if the Barrel Back needs the cross support but I suspect it could be removed without any problems. I really liked the "bridge" between the front and center cockpits on mine but finally decided that the walk thru would be more useful.

Maybe it will be done by G6 and maybe not.
