Thanks for your input Wally. Having never taken a shower on a boat I always assumed that the head/shower combo would leave a big mess. I know that at home one of my least favourite chores is scrubbing the bathtub. Doesn't the whole head get all soap scummy?
There is certainly a case to be made for storage.
