Hi Alex,
I haven't seen any evidence that there was a tank on Expresso between
the hull and the liner. Perhaps that was an option or the first owner did
it. The idea of some sort of forced ventilation is a good idea. I'm not
sure I like the idea of going through the deck, however. There was a great
article in Practical Sailor within the last 6 months on this subject. I'd
recommend you read that, it's very informative. I will try to find the
article.
