I think this is a great idea. The first time I liked having the worlds largest under bow storage ever was when we house boated on Mojave. I had to go back to the landing to grab some guys that were arriving the next day and was able to take their 3 giant coolers, many cases of beer, a washoo's set, a cornhole boards set, EZ up, sleeping bags, pillows, you get the idea. All in one trip. My flattie owner friend wanted to nickname it "the ferry" but I settled for "the barge".
