I think having two heads on a vessel that is aimed squarely at one couple usage is just that much extra headache

I would rather like to take that extra space in the forepeak and find a way to make a more 'open/airy' double berth arrangement like many of the other similar size trawlers. I would then make that space of the existing berth (under the helm station) into some nice hanging lockers and drawer lockers. Perhaps even include a vanity along with these lockers/drawers.

I also think this new berth location will isolate it from the bulkhead it was adjacent to that had the generator installed just on the other side.

This might necessitate making the vessel a foot longer, but I will try to resist this increase in length.
