You could always fill in the gap and machine in some plastic drains. Although my old Nauti was a lot fancier, it was the two huge drains, the one piece construction and the high back on the West Coast one that sold it for me.

Mine is the 32” wide Nauti but it loses width with the side walls being inset to allow for tool holding slots on the outsides. The ruler is basically useless because it goes from outside edge to edge, not lined up with the inside edge of the side wall.
I think the design of the Westcoast version is superior for the above reasons as well as the drains.
If I had the tools and means I’d build one like the Westcoast Tackle model with an inside-the-walls width of 80 cm and the raised part 62cm wide. Of course the regs could change before I got to use it. Lol

I had the same issue with the Nauti.

Been doing a few updates and maintenance in the off season. Recently had my side bolsters redone at Fawcett Boat Covers in Parksville - they have been doing my canvas and side bolsters for several years now and always do a quality job. Also installed the Trollmaster speed control (wired version) for improving the speed control on my kicker - excited to give it a try. Last week went over the hull bottom paint...checked another one off the job jar list. Slowly getting closer to being ready to splash the boat and fish in the Sproat Lake Loggers Derby - staying at Eagle Nook Resort. Will be an epic time, and especially comfortable at the Resort.

Okay so this is a big one…
I bought a boat house! 30’er in Sidney BC.
Yes I realize my cream puff will need bottom paint and get a little dirtier faster than usual but I will go out 10x more in it and I feel like I got a great price on it as well and there’s some instant equity.
No more issues parking it at my house anymore.

You need to get one of those inflatable lifts to keep that beauty shining.

My buddy did this when he had his 18 foot whaler, less than two months later he waved goodbye to his whaler and moved in a 28 axopar. Don't go to the boat show!

What a great job! The white top parts all custom cut starboard? I've wanted to do one of these for so long, would love to mount a 3rd downrigger in the middle. Would love more pictures maybe with the cutting board off? Looks like it quick releases.

And property taxes. I looked in to getting one a few years ago.
