Not sure about space underneath the quarter-berth on a LF38 but like Bill on “Starfire”, the 37’ has a similar setup.
I’ve rebuilt <http://roninrebuild.blogspot.com/2014/02/starting-battery-locker-redesign.html> my starter battery area underneath the quarter-berth and although I only have a single starting battery per the original configuration, I made sure that the new shelf would allow for a second battery should I go that route. That said, I yanked the old Raritan hot-water heater and replaced it with a new Isotherm unit thereby freeing up more space.
