Speaking of the M17 galley, has anyone considered modifying this structure?

Aside from being a convenient catch all for a very limited size-range of items, the sink is useless and the galley structure itself is (with the exception of the the nice work surface foreward of the sink, upon which an Origo 1500 fits perfectly) wasted space. I'd just as soon eliminate the thru-hull, saw the sink off at the same level as the work surface, and build in some real storage beneath.

I'm not tackling this project tomorrow or anything. I just think that with all the innovative thinkers on the list, a discussion would bring in some ideas that might result in a more useful interior. t

I have a single burner alcohol (wick) Optimus and it works great. Consider all pros and cons and the alcohol wick type is still the safest. It fits perfect in space aft of the sink in my 1975 M-17. A two burner would be nice but would need more space.
