?Hey Owners,
I¡¯m in the process of buying a 450. I have had a survey done that I have a question about. Should the bilge be dry? ?There is some water (1/2¡±) in the bilge. I¡¯m told that¡¯s from the ac. Does the ac condensation drain out or in? ?
Thx
It's all about the Adventure?

?My 2 cents. ?(likely not worth the price)
The port side of my 450 is fitted out. ?There is an opening to the forward cabin, but it is covered by the mirror above the bed. ?I view this currently as an emergency exit from the bow compartment. ?You could replace the mirror with a hatch. This is what I will do for the grandkids that I want to put forward to be close to their parents but give them their "own" room. ?(disclaimer-yes I would lock the top hatch and leave the hatch to the parents open.)
The master side with the shower appears to be more problematic. ?The bow compartment would require cutting the bulkhead and I believe the shower is a "drop in", so will have a gap. ?So you would likely need to create 2 penetrations and a way to "hatch" both sides. ?Personally, I use that side for a sail and dive gear wet locker and it works great for that. -- Stuart S/V Rum Away 2017 Lagoon 450S #33
