Strip: Under-deck knee tube? Design ideas?

I'm getting ready to start my first stripped deck, on CLC Shearwater 16 hybrid. Looking ahead, I've always wanted an underdeck storage area for a pump and water bottles; would be nice to keep topside uncluttered. I'm considering possibly a half-cylinder or cone shape (open at both ends) made of strip, for whatever weight penalty may be involved. Not really interested in the under-deck day hatches I've seen.

Are there any established designs for knee tubes that I should look at? Problems to avoid? Reasons to reconsider the entire idea? Thanks
