I have the seats, like 'em, agreed, leaning post way cooler!
If you're gonna order a boat, here's some ideas...
Have the rod storage hardware shipped loose. Mount the foreward loops high, as opposed to level with back loops. Foreward loops mounted low are major ankle busters.
Ship the assist handles on sides of console and especially the one on back of console shipped loose. More leg and knee busters that serve no purpose. A handle on top right of console is helpful.
Delete trim tabs (if standard) and get some big Bennetts. Mount control directly above throttle (where your hand will be anyway) instead of under steering wheel.
Anyone notice how "clean" Parker center consoles are mounted? No messy caulk joint on floor, or screw heads. Some boats even use some aluminum angle to mount console :shock: . The console "tub" is molded with its' own floor, with 2 small drain holes drilled in back corners. Never a problem with console leaks. Provides a nice finished look inside and out.
Also, look at the twin scuppers. A lot of so-called premium boats have one on each side. Not to mention the plastic water pick-ups some others use. Sometimes you just gotta look past the "fit and finish". :wink:
Almost forgot...one thing you won't have to pay extra for is the 3 piece hull. You can actually work a fish around the boat without feeling like you're fishing out of a bathtub. :lol:
