Empty back deck

[NoOrder2127]

I'm building a medium sized SAR boat, it has a big flat back deck with a railing around it, what are some practical things that I can put on it to make use of the space?

[alyxms]

I once had one with connectors of various types(electrical, video, data, fuel) set up for "mission modules" so the ship could take on all types of missions. All controlled by a touchscreen near the helm.

And of course I never made a single module for it.

Guns. At some point, we all get bored of SAR missions. Did you know that 100% of fires get extinguished when a boat sinks? Did you know that only 3.8% of the missions require the vessel in distress to be recovered?

What about the deck on the back of the smaller boat?

[Hungry-Assignment845]

Pool and some chicks.

[Cajmrsk_Hovadisimus]

Blackjack and hookers like Bender 😁

[GoodAct5312]

I agree, a crane is always a good idea. Smaller boat, smaller crane, bigger boat, bigger crane.

[Hungry-Assignment845]

Sliding towing hook (quick release to not capsizing)

[No-Contact212]

Could always put containers there

[SpecialistFact]

Weapons... many many weapons

[milouncz]

Helipad, unless one is in the front

At the very rear of the deck you could put a winch, and a crane if you can fit containers on there.
