Run a 3rd battery up the front to run electric reels. Also run your transducer cable on the opposite side to all the other electronics to avoid interface
Any one free to help me pull my drum lines tomorrow?

How big
How big is the boat? If the boat is big enough maybe a fresh water tank would be good so you can wash rods/reels/tackle/diving gear as you finish using them.

Rod Holders
Currently looking at how I can retrofit vertical rod holders that take the split butt jigging rods. I don't like putting them in the rocket launchers as they dont seem secure when travelling, and I dont think they are that kind to the blanks. God knows where I can put a fly rod either??
Depends on your fishing style of course.
Other nice to haves would be auto pilot and radar...

Honestly, anyone who bothers
Honestly, anyone who bothers with radar on a small boat has too much money.
What to use it for?
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

Agreed ....... the only thing you could use it for is to mark other boats "spots" without getting to close !!!
My fishing spots are so secret........... even the fish don't know where they are !!

Radars are brilliant for
Radars are brilliant for shelf work at night. Wood chip and alumina ships sneak up on me all the time. They are also good for finding rocks and unlit bollards. Set proximity alarm on radar and 1 can drink more beer without the worry of getting run over. FLIR is a must for travelling at night I use mine a lot when coming back after dark. Make sure you put it on a good trailer! 3 batteries are good! Dunno about solar but! Depends how often you'll go camp out on it! Put a good music player in it. Gotta have beats!
like stated above set it up for what YOU want to do with it and you'll be happy

Radar/FLIR is only gonna find rocks if they are sticking out of the water!
Number one navigation tool is the eyes!

FLIR shit all over my eyes/light at night. But correct on only picking up things above water! But then again I can't see underwater at night either! I find it easier to flick em on turn all lights off apart from Nav lights and head home. Just how I've done it!

AIS
AIS is a decent way to know when big boats are going to run you down
and it shows them on your plotter.

Can never have too much shade
Can never have too much shade plus under floor storage and solar panels would be handy too.
Im rebuilding my Assassin and just got it back from the welders I added a full length shade, under floor storage boxes and a drop down bench in the transom area that can hold 4 jerrys whilst the engine is down to get them off the deck. Handy for carrying water or fuel for monties trips and is underutilised space.
I also added another transom ladder and integrated them into the transom turning them into leaning posts so you can fish right of the back of the boat. and not have to worry about fighting to avoid your line from getting caught around the leg. It needs to go back next week though as im going to add a simple removable spotting station (think a zimmer frame style leaning post) on the hard top, a couple of 100mm wide steps on the hardtop B pillar to acces the spotting station without having to walk onto the foredeck and a couple of simple roof racks on the shade to store kayaks, SUP boards or a inflatable tender to get them off the canvas.
Im also thinking a removable bow sprit ladder would be good for getting people on and off at the beach and if your into that kind of thing I always liked the idea of a simple removable craddle system for storing a stand up jet ski acros the back gunnel to gunnel
