My previous boat, a 1987 Rinker V190, had a convertible top. If you can find one or have one made it will protect you from the wind and rain. It had the side curtains. Just fold down your bimini and put on the convertible top.
If there is enough room I would only put B2B on the port side. That leaves you with the room on the starboard to still put the cooler where it is in your pic.
That's how my old Rinker was set up.
I am probably going to change my bunk carpet this winter. I have found that some have a rubber backing and some have an acrylic backing. Any pros or cons on either of these types?
The carport idea is a good one. It won't keep you warm in the winter but will keep you and the boat dry. It is a lot easier to get in and out of the boat than removing the cover a million times. Here is mine with my previous boat.
