Bryan:

Thanks for pointing out the storage issues. After paddling all summer lightly outfitted, I was taking for granted that the pump and paddle float go under the deck bungies. They certainly need to go to an easily accessible loacttion somewhere inside the boat. I may just install the cheek plates.

: There are two disadvantages: 1) Your boat is pretty wide, so you'll need a
: lot of foam. Minicell isn't cheap.
: If you use plywood cheek plates, you'll need much less foam.

: 2) Behind the cheek plates is a great place to store a pump, paddle float,
: flares and other safety gear. Filling the area with foam wastes this
: useful space.

: Yes.
