Somewhere around I have a more recent picture that shows my new fronts: light ash trimmed in teak, all with matching finger holes.
 
I have at various times thought about changing it, but I doubt I will; the present arrangement works fine.  I would like to remove the sink drain and thru-hull since I only use the sink as a catch-all.  When heeling to port water will back into the sink unless it is plugged.

I like that Tod.  That's the good use of space.  Right now the our M17 has an electric panel like the one you have mounted on the V-berth bulkhead, but mounted where the drawers are.  The battery shut-off is about in the same place--maybe closer to the galley structure.  I've probably seen this on the M site but because my head wasn't into the problem, skipped right by it.   
 
Ever thought about losing the sink?
 
And I see the logic on weight distribution.    t

Also, Tom
 
Busca's outboard is on the port side.  The galley is on the port side.  The battery is on the port side.
 
Do you see the pattern?  I try to store only light items in the galley.  Heavier canned goods go nearer the ctrline in a storage tub under the cockpit.
Water is stored in 1 gal plastic jugs under the v-berth.  Initially they are loaded to stbd but they tend to migrate to port...
