I always thought one of the bins in the back would be good for a wash down hose for cleaning up getting back into the boat from sand or mud (would work on fish blood too just in case one happened to commit suicide and jump in the boat.).

LOL Don't listen to Charlie. You don't have to leave. However, I DO have the names of a few psychiatrists that you might want to visit.

I feel u man... I dont do the fishing scene either. Mine is for the family getting out to the local islands for some R&R. Check my past threads, I built a rear bench seat for 3, installed a decent sound system, alot of cool lighting, removed the rod holders in the gunwales and replaced with covers, turned the fish box in the floor into anchor storage, cut the bow rail down to 8" etc. Its now my custom party barge... The rod holders were gonna come out and extra cup holders were going in their place, but I kept them in case I decide to sell her one day.

I use my boat for family fun a fair amount of the time, cruising, skiing, tubing...of course many a fish has been slayed on her as well.
Have you looked through the Gallery? There are a couple boats pictured there that are more cruise than fish. Will be watching for pics of your progress.

My F-20 center console doesn't get fished very often, It is used mainly for swimming and snorkeling of late.. There are a few things I would have rigged different if cruising was the main goal. Delete the livewell for one. I am still working on getting some additional shade for the foredeck and 4" thick cushion made for the casting deck. I have a couple of storage compartments that were never really finished off,(never will finish them now) because it allows me to stuff swimming noodles and flag poles, fenders etc.. out of the way. Grill has a fitted cover and fits well in the forward compartment along with a spare prop and bag-o-tools..ditch bag.. I installed a fresh water and raw water washdown systems. Both come in handy but I would never need the raw water unless I was fishing or my water pump quit..
Welcome aboard and I can't wait to hear and see what you have in mind.. Maybe introduce Lazy-boy to King Starboard and wrap it in Sunbrella?? I like the idea of carrying a kayak on the top. I need to go out and work on a boat now...
