Very good idea Lone Star, share a couple of pics of the smaller seat holds ones when you get a chance?

sorry for late reply, here are a few pics of the small bags for the back seats.  The space under the seat actually tapers down, so the bags also taper down. 
 
another addition I got done was a canvas cover on the centre console to keep all the battery and electrics dry from the salt spray.  it just domes on.

Very cool mate, you think the center console cover is worthwhile? I think ill do something similar to what you've come up with.

I have not used it yet so not sure how much of a requirement it is/will be, but in principal I think it will be beneficial, even if just to provide some additional dry storage area.
Like you I am just setting the boat up for use.  Also had a full road cover made for it,  as I plan to tow it on a few gravel roads so helps keep things much cleaner inside.
 
Another change I made was I found that the seat squab would soak up water if it got wet through the stitching.  Then when you sat on it, water would come out of the stitching. So I got a bit more foam put on top and had it recovered, so now it will stay dry and has a bit more comfort too.
 
Just got the electronics to go in now and then it will be all ready!

No engine cover? at least cowling.
Keeps driving rain from going in the vents while parked up.

Hi BKB,
Found the T Top good, as increases the number of hand holds, as I a reasonable size and getting around the front is now easy.
Provides good shade in the summer.
The rod holders are a bit naff, and plastic, also I am 6'2" and the are at head height.
The boat is set up for straylining in the muddy Kiapara.
Cheers
