The best console layouts on small boats

I have seen a bunch of pod style console of late, some folks are building them to house a head/ portta potti, what are the feature you are most impressed with in the newer designs

I operate a 28' Mako CC. There is a plumbed head inside the console. This is a day saver during those long offshore grouper fishing and snapper fishing trips with the girls.
I think it makes all the difference when it comes to the family coming along. It adds some privacy and eliminates the whole bucket thing or just holding it.

Most if not all center consoles I been on that has a head in the console,had to much crap thrown in there for the head to be used. My answer was to buy a boat that had a small Vee berth with a head.

Also,with the head in the console,if in ruff seas,I found that women will not like going inside the console. They need a bit more of room.

I agree with that last post....all my storage is in the Center console while fishing....Bean bags, Spreader bars, jackets, sweatshirts, grundens, all that stuff makes getting to the toilet a pain in the A$$.....
