Just curious what modifications may be done to smaller boats to improve their sea keeping (keeping it out) ability?

I like the dodgers and canvas spray pannels in the front rails to help keep water from washing over the bow. What else does one do to a 4-5m "skiff"?? Any pictures appreciated. #Are most of these boats self bailing?

How do you set up electronics? Are there any legal requirements for electronics on small boats there?
I keep a ditch bag with plb (pocket epirb), handheld vhf and gps in addition to what's mounted on the console.. Arlon
