The quarterberth has a panel separating the berth from the space under the cockpit sole. The port locker does not extend under the cockpit sole. This is a fixed keel boat What is in this space, i. e., under the cockpit sole? Is it flotation foam?
Thanks.

I believe, from what you describe, that you are referring to the space where the inboard is located on my boat.

Interesting.....my quarter-berth extends under the cockpit sole, to a wood panel that separates it from the dumpster. (lazerette)

Yours does not? Your quarter-berth is only as wide as from the hull to, say, the ladder?

(see what I did there? I used the right terminology for the wooden thing you step on to get in/out of the cabin)

I'm still confused about exactly where you mean. Can you take a picture, or show us where you mean on a picture from another boat?

there's a fiberglass panel between the under quarterberth area and the res of the boat, i think it's just there to hold the inside molded liner to the hull, it doesn't look like it's structural because it's quite thin

My quarterberth extends under the cockpit sole to the panel closing off the dumpster. I would have thought that all of the boats without an inboard would be that way. I doubt that there is anything in there, especially if the panel is removable. You don't have a diesel hiding in there, do you?

This is the diesel option, but I hope you would know whether you had the diesel or not. ;)

Thanks for the replies; particularly the humorous suggestions of hidden assets.
No, there is no diesel residing there. To try to be more specific in the absence of a shared photo, the plyboard panel in question separates the starboard quarter berth, going aft from the companionway ladder to the stern. On the port side is the main locker, and a smaller vented, fuel locker. The former does not extend under the cockpit sole. Any other thoughts?

I "think".....maybe he has the diesel option but no diesel engine?

Sounds to me like he's saying his quarter-berth is smaller and does not extend under the cockpit sole; there's a panel there. The port side sail locker, the lazarette, the dumpster, does not extend under the cockpit sole.

So, he has a space, under the cockpit sole, that doesn't seem to have any access.

Can you take the panel off and get a look inside there? Take some pictures either way and post them up so we can take a look.

Also, this could be (probably is) a modification by the PO for some reason or other. This boat wasn't owned by Columbians down in Florida was it?

Reading Mountaineer62's post carefully I'm wondering if he's referring to the area (if you were laying on your back) above your head (the ceiling) of the quarterberth area. The fact he mentions flotation makes me wonder if he means the area between the inner and outer cockpit liners including the area between the cockpit sole and the topside of the inner liner??

Sounds like he has a floor in his dumpster, some people have put platforms in them.
