Walk through transom or stand up shower

For 6 month living in the islands which would you say is a must have?, a walk through transom or a stand up shower stall?

Kind of torn between Hunter 37c, Hunter 37 Legend and a Catalina 36MKII.

Walk through transom.. you'll be doing a lot of dinghying I'd imagine and the ladies would appreciate bruise free legs from clambering over life lines...
Also there's usually a stand up shower on the left of the scoop..

You know, the stern shower would provide better sight seeing....

I'm having a hard time with the either/or choice, because to me the answer is just YES.

Depends what islands you mean, but in the tropics, a walk through transom IS a stand up shower...

Re: Walk through transom or stand up shower

Lest you forget that between those tropical paradise shores there may be some rough sailing I'd go for the solid transom. Look at all the deck access lockers you'd be missing. On the other side. A stand up shower is a must whether on deck or down below. ... Let me know when the twins are showering. I'll break out the binolulars.
