Interesting about the shower. This 35-2 doesn't have the teak floor grid outside the head for the shower, nor a proper drain in the shower pan area, but it appears the previous owner did have a shower curtain rod installed around the ceiling area, judging by the holes in the ceiling. Seems like it would be hard to keep all the water in the pan area, and I don't like that it just drains to the bilge. If we ever try to install a shower, I'd try to rig up a dedicated pump for the shower pan and keep it out of the bilge. More likely, we'll just use a cockpit shower.
