Storage

[chumbucket]

Well, IMO, if you're looking for storage room, go with the cuddy cabin. I personally don't care about all the storage space. I seem to have enough for my needs with my Center Console. Starting up at the bow, it's got an anchor locker. Then in the raised deck, it has a very deep storage locker, then a fish box/livewell that's about 48" x 20". A cooler seat in front of the console. A small storage hatch behind the back rest on the front of the console, a door for access/ some storage underneath the console itself, small sliding door storageunder the helm station that also houses the stereo and fuse panel, a small flipdown door box on top of the console where I've installed my VHF (good to toss cell phone and other small items for quick access). Then the flip back cooler seat that's very good sized, and then two more hatches behind the cooler seat (actually, one is more for access to the bilge). There are two jump seats at the stern on either side with storage beneath albeit minimal because of dual batts on one side and oil resevoir on the other (that side houses my safety flares and equipment). On top of the stern there are two small removable plastic boxes with hinged lids. I keep dock lines on one side and the other is usually used for fishing items I want to get at quickly. You can see most of these in my pics in the gallery.
It actually has a lot of storage room for a center console.
But, for the truly dry storage and ease of access, the cuddy is probably the way to go. You can just toss all your stuff in without worrying about packing everything.
