Has anyone ever seen this or thought of doing it themselves?
I've seen plenty of transom door DIY setups but couldn't find anything about modifying the flybridge.
Reasons you might want to.
Easier access to bow
Doggy door for big ones who can't climb the ladder
Passing cold ones/coolers
Who doesn't want another way to move about?
I did a silly drawing of what I was thinking on my Mainship 34 but its basically cut out a 2' section or so, add folding steps(so you can see while at lower helm) and finish it all out. I was also thinking that you could easily add a door or a cutout for a doggy door.
My specific reason is my 80lb Golden Retriever can't get up the ladder, loves being around us and means the world to me(our daughter).
Doubt i'd ever do it but while bored I thought why not.
