That would be #1 on my list.

If you sit down on the closed toilet you can will find it not perfect, but much easier to spit in the sink!

1) smaller (or no) mullions in the windshield. Forget the opening center panel and put some moon roof type openings in the roof.
2) counter top in the head that tilts toward the centerline rather than outboard where water collects
3) a fixture in the head that does not squirt water all over the counter surrounding the sink (see #2)
4) floor panel in the navigators' station that tilts toward the centerline rather that outboard (see #3)

Anyone else?

Three rod holders in each of the gunnels and two in the stern. Insulation on the fish box and a better live well - water in at the bottom and out at the top.

Ah, the fisherman pipe in. I agree 100%. I'd add a strainer on the livewell drain to prevent clogging. Note - do not put live eels in the livewell. They manage to get into the drain and cannot be removed easily. Wasn't one of my brighter ideas. :oops:

Seal the top inside edge of the livewell so water won't run into the bilge in rough seas or when the drain clogs. Ditto on more rod holders! Put the saltwater washdown on the same side as the livewell. Does anyone else have water the the drawer cabinet next to the helm seat? Mine drips in from the upper starboard engine intake vent. Better side window locking handles. A helm seat pedistal that snaps in instead of screwing in would be great.

John -

Yes, I had the same problem with my drawer / tackle box setup on the starboard side. It turned out to be splash over from the vent. I was told by Albin not to reverse the direction of the vent. Instead, I fashioned a rear cover for the entire assembly out of 1/16" vivac (vivac is a flexible and bendable plastic similar to plexiglas). When I have a chance after haul-out I will try to take some photos of the finished product. No more leaks.
