trent valley boats,

hi all,after a trip out on my semi trad nb before Christmas i got a coal bag around my prop, i had a hell of a job to remove it mainly because of the access to the weed hatch,i had to crawl over a hot engine and somehow had to lift out the weed hatch cover at arms length,it seemed to be a rather simple job turned into a nightmare,so i thought about cutting a hatch in the back deck above the weed hatch to make it a lot easier to access the prop, my question is has anybody done this or does anybody no someone who could do this for me ,i`m in the notts/derby border area, many thanks

we will be using it to cook simple food for mainly the two of us like burgers ,steak, sausages , and the like,going to be kept on the nb,

proper job, no gas cheers
