Ski locker, make it big enough for a wakeboard!

That would be great, at the moment all I tend to use the locker for is for ski vests etc. It seems like a lot of space that isn't that practical

I would make sure there was enough room to
replace the starter
replace the manifolds
get at the steering actuator and ram
and add as standard:
remote oil filter
standard water separating filter (Raycor)
make closed cooling standard on I/Os

use vinylester resin (maybe they already do this now)
seal all holes in the 'glass laminate
make every boat with a self bailing deck for safety
make 2 1100 gph bilge pumps with auto switches standard even on small boats
make a dual battery system standard
use a high quality aluminum fuel tank coated with coal tar epoxy and strong mounting tabs, not the plastic tank with those cheap metal tabs that FW gives you on a 50+K plus boat, for shame.
A galvanized trailer, standard not extra cost
An option for a roller trailer, not just bunks.
an electrical system that has tinned wire and Anchor marine terminals.

If they did all this, and eliminated the needless fancy seats, engine cover lifts wood trim, etc, you could keep the cost close to the same and you would not have about 80% of the problems people on here complain about....

Lots of great ideas. Some are perhaps best suited to aftermarket upgrades as they're not always suited for delivering a boat to all markets. Why add the costs when it's not needed?
