I like it but not for me either. I’d take the boat out if I want to fish or chill, gives me the option to cook what I catch on the bbq and get out of the sun under the Bimini top.

When I was in Florida back in June, I saw several PWC's equipped with large "towers" on them. Had coolers strapped to the back, rods hanging off the side, and one even had a tall enough tower to provide shade for the riders. Immediately wondered why the OEM's didn't get in on this particular trend.
Kinda looked like these. Three Of A Kind: Creating The Ultimate PWC Fishing Machines - The Watercraft Journal | the best resource for JetSki, WaveRunner, and SeaDoo enthusiasts and most popular Personal WaterCraft site in the world!
I could see if I was a single dad with one kid, this would be a great way to spend the day on the water without breaking the bank. As cheap/easy/small as my 190 is, you can take that concept a step further and get more of it with a PWC. Cheap to own, store, tow, etc. This rear deck with seats (be really cool if those seat bottoms flipped up to hold a floating cooler you could deploy at anchor) really helps add some family functionality to an otherwise floating couch. I see Yamaha went parts bin shopping with that ladder and grab handle. Looks like the exact same pieces on my AR190.
Only thing missing here is some shade IMO.
**edit** Here's another example of what I saw down in FL. Aside from missing some shade, this looks like a super versatile setup if you're going to spend a LOT of time on the water.
I'm honestly a little upset at this one. I had the idea to use these off-roading Rotopax fuel containers on the side of a tower a few years ago when thinking about taking my 190 to Bimini. I think they hold 7.5gal each, and can't be that difficult to fabricate a mount for the side of the tower.

Lack of shade was what had me move on from my Honda Aquatrax. I was able to fish off that and do much of what I wanted except get out of the sun.
