Additional circuit breakers for SO39i

Now that I have a boat I'm free to attack with drills, saws etc. there are some electrically-related matters I'd like to attend to. I need to add some breakers to the scanty offerings on the SO39i so as to support some more gear.
Jeanneau's panel is nothing if not idiosyncratic, both in front and in back. Given what I've read here I'm sure it's quite hopeless discovering where to buy a similarly constructed auxiliary panel and in any case building in more weird isn't where I want to go.
I'm good with DC wiring, familiar with ABYC commandments and all that. What I'm wondering about is if any others here have added an auxiliary panel to a similarly equipped boat (Jeanneau w/the little rocker switches in the minimalist panel) and if so, what sort of tripping points you've run into and what products you found were particularly helpful with regard to coping with what's behind the panel.
Ideally I'd just change the whole thing out but that's going to have to wait until next fall, if I do it at all. In the meantime I need an additional 3 breakers with some extra blanks for overhead so not much money at stake here. Just want to avoid going up any blind alleys already explored, so any advice from explorers would be much appreciated.
