Mine's pretty tricked out. Bait station with large Magma cutting board amidship port side. Garmin color plotter, Lowrance fish finder, ICOM VHF, RACOR fuel water separator, 2000gph auto Rule bilge pump, AM/FM radio, bow anchor swivel, Fortress 7X anchor 10 feet of chain to 150' of 3/8" line, attached cooler, 6 rod holders, and 7 extra cleats. And the battery with that 12 gallon Moeller tank in the bow
Love it.

That's loaded indeed! My layout is very simple.
I replaced the transom wood on my boat with a 2 inch thick block of mahogany when I got the boat. It's worked out well.
