    I have an 87 C-Hawk with a small forward cabin. But I have to duck into the cabin and sit while steering. I'd like to raise the ceiling about 24inches. This would allow me to move the freshwater system into the lower hull and open up the inside.

    I'm ok with fiberglass and with the beam, I think the stability would be fine, but does anyone know of any sources of information about what to consider when doing something like this ?
    Thanks
