: The very ends are pretty much wasted space anyway, can't normally
: even reach them so anything you stuffed up there would be nearly
: impossible to recover anyway.

I put a 4" hatch and a bulkhead at the very bow and it is a practical storage for small items that i like to get at quickly such as when stopping on shore for say 15 minutes. If the idea is to create bouyancy only, then i would put the same hatch on the bulkhead, and have a clear deck.

greetings,
