Ok, first let me start by saying WOW! Your boat has the "lived in" look that we're slowly trying to accomplish. I think I have a potential mistress away from the Batfish (sorry Rick). You all have done a superb job at recreating the atmosphere. I'm impressed.
As far as the wall and pass through, I have access to all of the reverse engineering software and manpower that we could ever need and the thought had crossed my mind to see what it would take to reproduce the original wall. Right now we have a plywood wall and bookshelf below the upper cabinets on that side. I wasn't sure if it was just a wall or what it even looked like. Judging by these pictures, it would be a BIG job to try to undertake. I wish our boat wouldn't have all but gutted for classroom use. I'd kill for some more torpedo skids, torpedo straps, bunks, bunk bags, etc. (I guess I'd better start killin' LOL).
