Absolutely LOVE my 2019 325 Freedom, but other than "cabin", head and forward seating storage, I find storage space in the cockpit area lacking.

Has anyone found a good option for adding storage in the aft facing seating and sliding seat boxes?

While I'm at it, and suggestion for how to store the table top/foredeck filler when not in use?
 
What are you looking to store? I'm not very familiar with your boat and where things are placed. That being said there is a lot of dead space in certain areas of most gradys. On my boat I have added doors on the steps going up to the bow which gave me 2 nice storage areas. Typically under molded in seats and sinks are some open areas that could be exposed for storage by making a cutout and adding a door. Other things like tackle box storage trays can be removed to create larger spaces for storage. You may have to get a little creative.

Thanks, DrBatts! The 325 has sliding seats behind the port and stbd forward facing seating (helm seat).

Looking like +/- 14 cubic feet of storage could be gained by providing access, as there's only a small motor, drive and drawer slide brackets inside. Would be great storage for docklines, wash supplies, etc.

Currently, only storage aft of the helm seat other than under the gunwales and two Plano rigging containers is the fishbox and livewell.

May I inquire as to where you sourced the "doors"?
 
Storage space on these boats is definitely lacking. I had the doors made by boat outfitters. I initially tried beckson deck plates but the doors look better and are more functional. For cleaning supplies I use a dock step which the top opens for storage. I usually just leave it at the dock when we are out on the boat.
