[C320-list] Rear Storage in Catalina 320

[Troy Dunn]

 Coincidentally I was just PMing with another C320 owner last night about
whether or not to move my AC unit or whether to leave it where it is
because that stern locker area is so inconvenient to access we rarely use
it (there are still 6 gallons of winterizing antifreeze in there left over
from last fall)

Definitely interesting in hearing/seeing what other's have done to improve
the utility of those  stern lockers .  Please post your paddleboard install
pic somewhere...we have two and any ideas for NOT storing them in the
V-berth when not inflated might be good, although we love just passing them
up through the hatch inflating them on the foredeck and then just strapping
to the lifelines.
