LOL Perhaps not if it were a portapotty with a "dropleaf" lid panels
that would allow it to double as a coffee table....??

Hmmm...maybe this is doable after all! lol

It just occured to me that right smack in the middle of my saloon/galley
area is a removable bilge cover. Maybe if I chiseled-out some of that
concrete I could set the porta-potti down there... OOps -- I forgot. The
Bilge Beaver wouldn't take kindly to my intruding into his living space.

I had a 27 foot cruiser, without any toilet arrangement execpt a bucket
and when the boat was bought by a friend of mine, who had a vife and 2
daughters, they voted (3 to 1) that the boat must have a toilet, so they
bought a Porta-Potti and with a piece of plywood it was used as a cabin
table, and without the lid as a toilet. Of course the rest of the crew
had to go to the cockpit to allow some privacy to the user of the
toilet. It was less complicated than most think, as in harbour they used
the harbour sanitary facilities and while sailing most of the time the
people were in the cockpit anyway.

This brings to mind the mystery of why everything tastes so much better on a
boat.

Those of us who have read Michael Green's "Coarse Cruising"
know the answer, but it's not something to reveal over the
internet.

On a catamaran, even simpler than your bucket, is the Spronk head. A large
deck plate through the bridge deck set back from the steps down into the
hulls.
If enough of a sea, you get a bonus... a bidet.
