Um....I don't know about that. Mrs. Wave isn't that proletarian. I
suspect that most other women, what with their unique
physiologies/anatomies and moments of periodic infirmities (like the
way I put that?) would prefer not to jump into the lake to perform
bodily functions.

Privacy curtains aren't an answer either for obvious reasons.

I think in his case, cuddy is probably the only way to go.

I'm not talking about curtains, there are bow riders in the plus 20ft size
that have created small "privacy" spaces to one side between the main
passenger area and the bow. Hard walled with a door. Just enough space for
a potty without wasting space. If all you really need is bathroom space
this is obviously the way to go.

The majority of the small cuddies in use that I have been aboard have simply
been a big ski locker/junk storage. You want to sacrifice a third of the
boat to be a bathroom. In that size range they are just hot and cramped.

Certainly depends on the age group and the personal level of sports
activities. But the crowd we move in doesn't mind getting wet. If you're
going to ski, wakeboard, or tube then you're getting in the water.

JimH makes a great point although to be fair, we don't know where the
original poster is planning on running his boat. You make a good
point with respect to inland lakes where the water temp is up, but you
sure as hell don't want to be doing that in the North Atlantic often.

I think you under estimate the feminine component in all this. Then
again, if he's running inland, there may be facilities available
within a short distance.

With respect to cuddys, I respectfully disagree.
