As you probably know, the "Potter 14s" had built-in lazarettes. I find the
one on my P14 very useful and would hate to do without it. It's actually
designed to stow a Seagull outboard, which I have occasionally done.
Generally, you don't want to put much weight in the lazarette because
Potters abhor weight in the stern, so I'd recommend keeping your
construction as light as possible. You might even add some ballast forward
to compensate for the weight of the lazarette.
There's no loss of legroom because nobody should be sitting that far aft
anyway IMHO.
