The section of sole under my nav table, where I put my feet, was just screwed down to the interior liner. I pulled it up and cut a hole in the liner, accessing an area big enough for tool storage so I can use the top drawer for something else. It's far enough aft and high enough that any bilge water doesn't find its way up there. I hinged the teak and holly to be a lid.
