Head legroom and feetroom enlargement

[TonyHouk]

As I have gotten older the circumference of my middle section has increased. I cut out the head cabinet area to make it easier for me to get my feet in the head. Hope it gives y'all an idea if you want to mod your head.

What is that behind the sink? My boat only has a bulkhead there.

Be,
Someone gave me their galley insert from a X a number of years ago. I have been using the cuddy pockets from the insert to make extra storage areas around the boat that aren't being utilized efficiently. The thing you are looking at in my picture will be a toilet paper holder that I made from a cutoff portion of one of those cuddy pockets. The X insert has a big buddy pocket under the small one. I mounted the big one on the panel to the aft of the cooler holder box in the aft galley settee. You can see another cutoff I mounted the pocket on the cabin walkway under the settee of the galley. It is not shown in the picture I attached but I just mounted my last pocket to the port of the cooler box on the panel in the walkway. I hope that helps. Tony

Hi TonyHouk!

Nice jobs!
Great ideas & use of the old cubbies!
Looks great!
The extra foot space in the head is a great idea!

We’re gonna keep this in mind for that black galley section we pulled out when we modified our galley a couple years ago.
(Our insert is just taking up space in the garage so getting something useful out of it is an excellent idea….)

Best Regards,

That makes sense now. Thanks!

Hi Tony, You have more courage than I when it comes to cutting into your cabinet. That said could you post an after pic of your head cabinet. I'm interested as to how you finished it . Thanks
