My 382 came with some upper cabinets over the Galley Sink that I have removed (in such a way that I can reinstall them relatively easily if more storage is needed). They were screwed to plywood above the headliner and had wood posts below for support. I thought these were standard storage, but in cruising through the pictures in the gallery, I don't think I saw another boat with them.
Does anyone else have these uppers?
Secondly, I also assumed that they provided structural support for the deck above and that I would need to run a longer post (along the centerline) once removed. However, again upon looking at photos in the gallery, it does not appear that anyone has a post there, except for sv Pilgrim, who installed it himself. Furthermore, the existing post did not run through the counter to anything structural underneath. I am beginning to think that the posts were solely there to support the cabinets from below.
Has this been brought up before? Does my conclusion seem a reasonable one?
