Just got this new BoatGuard protector for my V325 Vista and I'm hoping to install it myself! I think need to get to the inside of the hull near the front of the boat to install it? are there are any access panels in that area?

You might find an entry through the cabin storage compartments or near the footwell, depending on how your model is laid out. Have you checked under the seating area? Some boats hide access behind panels there. If there's nothing easy to reach, you might have to remove part of the interior trim to get in. What part of the hull do you need to reach? That might help narrow down the best way in.

If it's not where @ZenithPulse75 suggested, try if you can find an access panel in the forward berth, usually under the cushions or within a locker.
That should give you the access you need to get to the inside of the hull near the bow.
 
There's some kind of hatch or panel near the forward cabin or under seating that lets you reach inside, you might need to remove cushions or small trim pieces to create access too
