G3 seems to be intent on squashing any of my ideas for customizing my boat. Every single thing I have ever asked them about, they have told me no.
I heard back from them today about cutting the step open to add storage and they said they couldn't recommend doing it because there are supports under it to keep it from collapsing when it gets stepped.
I guess my next step is to call them and ask them for a copy of the prints for that part of the boat, so I can see where those supports are, which would help me to avoid cutting them.
They said no to a recessed foot pedal for the TM.
No to a jackplate.
And no to the storage in the step.
