I say put a crane, radar, tender, train horn, prawn gear, and don't forget the rainbow flag!
It's not a yacht its a fish boat

Crane and tender are where I'm heading with mine.
"Up there" is the last place I want to be on a hot day. Tired before you even get there.

Storage is very valuable.
I'm going with ditch the ladder, it won't fit now anyway. Even though it's not hard to extend it. Get rid of it. Aluminum helm console. Skirt brow the top. Send it
Pretty sure there's a yacht forum somewhere lol.

You can't say 'common sense' and 'rebuild' in the same sentence. Its a labour of love and it will be what makes you happy.

I know everyone has an opinion but I threw up in my mouth a little when I look at this.

Nothing wrong with a honest opinion

And that’s because you need room for outboards….?

I’m with this, set it up like storage or lounge. No real need to steer from up there imo, but very valuable space.

This is full blown defamation of the Coastal Commander.

Here's my opinion on that. It's going to cost let's say 10g to get steering, controls and whatever else you are planning for a helm station. So just ask yourself how much will you use it? The way it is you could use it for storage however not sure there will be room up there for a tender. Think about how you want to control the boat outside of the main helm station, including while your fishing. I think that's the most important thing. Keep it simple
Think twins and kicker and how you want to operate it and from where.

No skin in the game, and the guy writing the cheques calls the shots. In my opinion, part of the issue with the cutting off the flybridge makes the boat look like its got a flat-top haircut. Check out photos of Lifetimer's Discovery series boats and look at the roofline, with the extended 'brim' over the windshield, and the raised/angled perimeter piece. Helps 'finish' the look of the cabin, and also provides a few inches to conceal equipment up on the roof.
Might not work on your due since the windshield angle is reveresed - but just a thought. Photoshop it in and see what you think.
