Get two 10” Garmin screens installed and you will not be disappointed. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/seafarer-228-electronics.28891/#post-197598

It looks like you could have fit a 3rd if you moved the gauges! Have you had any water intrusion issues or touch screen finickiness?

Looks great! Question on fishing from the bow - do you plan to use the foot pedal up there? I find it challenging to fish from the bow as even walking up there is tight, and with a bouncing boat and a rod in one hand makes me nervous. What type of fishing will you do up there?

Yes I bought the foot pedal, haven't used it yet but it fits in the walkway behind the anchor locker no problem. Probably only fish shallows and structures from the bow, sight fish cobia and tarpon from the roof, offshore wreck and reef from the stern. So many fish, so little time.
