WS Tarpon 160 mods ?

[SDLivin]

Off the wall request, but thought I would ask the mod gods anyways.
Attached is a picture of an older red Tarpon 160 that is very similar to the yak I own with the 2 covered cargo holds; 1 in front and 1 in the rear.>>
My thought was to convert the rear hatch into an open cargo hold, where I could hold a bait tank etc…>>
I was wondering if anyone has ever seen this modification done and if you know of any products in the marketplace or how to’s on this.>>
I understand that this could be a water collection area or I would have to create my own scupper hole(s).>>
I’ve looked into creating my own customer fiberglass mold, which would roll over the cargo hold lip and still be able to use the cover for surf entries/exits.>>
>Thoughts? or more work then it's worth?
