While I’m far from the best designer and fiberglasser here. No one’s responded so here’s what I did:
I looked at this until my eyes went crossed on my Seafari 25. I tried to see what was done from factory and improve on that while keeping it representative of the period. I thought about side doors on my transom, flip out tackle boxes under the gunnels. Making a seat base that doubled as tackle center… the list goes on. I just didn’t come up with anything that I liked for the money.

Also in this one you see some more ideas but not sure how much room you have.

What kind of fishing you doing? I do mainly high speed trolling and live baits. So my setup is fairly straight forward. I have 2 gaffs mounted under gunnels. As well as a baton and a Japanese fish killer. 1 bag with my lures in it. My tools are mounted on deck. I’m working on a teak rocket launcher so will probably move them to there for my knives, pliers, etc. don’t plan on a drawer
I looked at all kinds of stuff and I’m sure I can go fancier but the cost is crazy and I could spend that on new rods and reels. Not too mention gas
I have a cabelas bag with my lures in it and all my rigging. I’m planning on getting one of these soon so I can just hop on and off with most of my gear as I go out with others regularly.

Kind of big but my wahoo (ono) and ahi (yellowfin) lures are pretty big here. I advocate simple and cheap when possible.
