My list is pretty short so far.

1. Rebed front window
2. Reinforce cockpit floor
3. Add latches to storage doors under dinette
4. Secure V berth insert

I find the storage bins and V berth insert on the cabin floor if I hit any kind of rough water. Since we only use the V berth as a bed, I'm just going to use small angle brackets and screw the insert to the rest of the V berth.
