Fridge in my 35' Nordic was a top load and it had no drain so it's gone. The sink we use from time to time to wash dishes or fill the dog's bowl.
Sink is needed for claiming boat interest on taxes which is why most builders started including them.

No sink, but mine has the fridge. We use it frequently, especially if overnighting, mainly for food and breakfast stuff like milk, OJ, or lemonade. It is better than putting stuff like that in a cooler, and then having to worry about it getting waterlogged from melting ice.
If we are overnighting, I freeze water in a 1/2 gallon jug and put it in there the night before with it plugged in. That helps to keep it from running so much over the weekend. I have yet to run down the battery from the fridge. Now the amp is another story!
With two daughters nearing middle school, the thing I will need pretty soon will be an enclosed head!

We spend 3-4 nights on the boat every weekend. Sink and fridge get used every time we go out. My fridge will run for a week and not drain the batteries. I leave it running all summer, and I have forgotten to plug the boat in several times when I get home and the fridge is still running and the boat still cranks right over next time out.
