Hull question about a 1996 330 Sundancer

Larry is your boat a Tn. (SERT) or a Florida boat (SERP)? Rumrunner and I both have Florida boats. I'm betting your hull # starts with SERT. I spoke with Nova Kool today. They told me there was 2" of insulation to work with. He didn't act like it was a big deal to modify the back. I just need to knotch out a place in the rear bottom about 2 1/2" toward the front and about 1/2" deep into the foam and refrabricate it some way. Possibly pop rivet some metal back in. Any heat and air guys got ideas?
This was just sent to me from Sea Ray in Knoxville:
The area with the step up is a floor panel that is bonded directly to the hull on the outboard side where the channel is formed, so the clearance to the main hull fiberglass is small. There will be foam under the floor panel. This section could be modified, but you will need to use caution not to cut to deep.
Again, I'm not going to attempt to alter the stringer but I thought some of you guys may need this info some day. The people at Sea Ray in Knoxville, Tn. are the very best at helping boat owners and dealers with problems. Yet another reason why they are so successful. Larry don't worry about it one bit. You were only trying to help. I'll work this out.
 
Larry,

Man, what have you done here? You should be the new pot stirrer with all of these problems that you've created for others! Nice going pal!! :lol:
 
It is really no big deal to modify the fridge cabinet in the back, like I said I was able to just tap it a little bit and all was good. If you need a little more you could take a hacksaw to the outer box and cut a 1/2" off the bottom and then just get the metalic duct tape (not the grey tape) and just cover the exposed foam. Mine was built was built in TN...
 
THE NOVA KOOL IS INSTALLED! I cut out a section of the tin all the way across the rear bottom and taped it up with the shiny type duct tape. I put a 1/4" shim under the front left corner and front left vertical part of the cutout. I pushed the fridge to right side of the cutout. I had a bad spot that I was covering up by pushing it to the right. I will have to fill 4 of the previous holes from the old Norcold. I must say that the Nova Kool is a very well made refrigerator. The foam is 2" thick and of very good quality. Many thanks to all who have contributed.
