Sounds like fun DaveR. I don't have any real plans yet but I've thought about underwater lights. Still on the fence as they really add nothing but "gee whiz"
A couple comments on your plans:
I hear great things about the memory foam for sleeping cushions. My boat has an inner spring mattress, it's still only about 4 or 5 inches thick. That would be the best solution but pretty pricey.
Be careful with the trim tab switches, I haven't look at a schematic in a while but I remember that in some setups you could pop a fuse/breaker with you went up on one tab simultaneously with down on the other tab. Basically it shorted +12 to ground. Either the switches physically prevent this or the wiring has changed.
My stereo has a aux input that has the three wire mini jack. this is OK to use with and Ipod, you can hear good quality audio. But you cannot control the Ipod through the stereo. I set up playlists and just let them run. You might check with Crutchfield, they have kits for some radios to have actual Ipod control from the radio. I might be easier just to get another stereo.
Have Fun
