Did these boats originally come with a removeable tub in the rear access hatch near the port gunnel immediately forward of the boarding ladder?

attached pic is the access point Im talking about. Im assuming this is the same hull design right through 2010 with the Journey 258 model.

Yes. There was a removable bin there.
The 258 had the same dimensions, but different hull (full running surface and possibly more). From the helm aft was also redesigned.
If you are looking for a replacement, good luck.
 
Thank you. Yes, I wasn't going to waste my time looking for a replacement tub. However, I am working with a local fabricator to reproduce the tub for my boat via 3D printing, so it should work fine. Maybe not as pretty as the original, but will be functional for my use!

On a side note - I have been trying to find a picture of what the window screens for the cuddy side windows looked like. You wouldn't by any change have any images would you? I've already had to replace the window glass on all windows and skylight screen and glass as well. Basically doing a restoration on the boat.
 
I can't confidently recall. I can't remember if it was an aluminum or plastic frame with a screen. Regardless, you will likely need to or have someone fab them for you. With the right glue, screen, and plastic it should be doable.
The original bin for the corner was very deep. I would guess at least 30". Taking some measurements and doing a little online searching, you can probably find a trash bin that will be close enough to work.
 
I've got the screens and the tub. I'll take some pics and measurements for you. Probably be Sunday.
 
Late posting these and left my tape. Cold snack for size reference.

Thank you!

On a side note, this upcoming weekend may be the first time Ive ever used this boat. Been working on it since February in a full repower and cosmetic rehab complete with new wiring.

I have a 300hp single on it. What has been your top speed and size of the motor on your boat?

Twin 150s. Ran 48.3 the other day with both fuel tanks slam full. Fastest planning boat I've ever owned. Literally jumps up.

Props looks terrible too. Regular 17 Yamaha's. I could spin them to 6000 with some trim left.

I think with good props, 50 is totally possible. Would like to try some 19P Mirage's that should be similar diameter.
