Access to the aft cabin is still easy through the open transom at this stage. While building the aft cabin interior I took advantage of that access as much as possible. The work was fairly complicated because of the routing of the transmission steering components, and my decision to add a water ballast tank just forward of the transom. On both sides of the cabin I built lockers.
This photo gallery (46 images) shows the aft cabin interior work: the infused bed base (with Froli box-spring layout), the preformed channel for the torque tube and the bevel box recess, inspection access to the water ballast tank, and the construction of the port and starboard cabin lockers.
