Ok, so the biggest problem I have with the current design is engine room access. What if I did a gull door like the pics below (red outline being the new door).

Red lines = engine room door closed


This is what it would look like with the engine room hatch / gull door open.


It seems to me like this gull wing with a side-ladder entry approach would be quite a bit easier access than I currently have on the boat. Thoughts?
