Boat is being delivered later than July 2022 does that mean its going to be an early 2023 model? I think so.
With IDES Yamaha white motors, does this include the Helm Master EX digital adjustable friction and sensitivity steering helm and the Digital Electronic Controls which include pattern shift, speed control etc? I think it does need to verify.
I thought I was only going to get 3 batteries. I think I should get 4 though so the two engines each have a battery and and a house battery for the stereo system and electric reels and a house battery for the water pumps and more reel outlets. Not sure where I want to connect the MDF screens and components though I think they should be spread out across batteries for redundancy.
Skipping the head just can't justify it and I need to save the weight. I need to ask if I can still place a tank where the holding tank would have been placed and use it for a second fresh water tank that would be nice.
M-Series console with switch panel moved up on dash. Having on the dash makes the rear of the switches easier to service and they are easier to see on the dash as well. I thought about czone electric switching but sometimes its nice to just have an old fashion mechanical dedicated button keeping it simple. Getting the eisenglass three sided with wings enclosure. Better than wearing the mask and snorkle while driving lol.
M-series extra large T-Top. I have gone back and forth about the speaker boxes in the ttop. It would be better for the stereo system but its $1600 option and I like the clean ttop style without the large pods. Still waffling on this one. Adding kingfish rod holders to the ttop.
Getting finger hand grips on the ttop. Why not they look nice and don't cost much. And sometimes you just need to hold on!
Going to have two spreader lights in the read and one in the front. I need to ask about the one in the back maybe a lumitec razor slimline light bar underneath for flood. But the individual smaller lights are adjustable for when you don't want the deck too bright the light bar would be fixed. Hmm.
Outrigger bases will be gemlux bluewater, with 18 internal rigger carbon fiber black. I'd like to add a center rigger to match as well.
Aft fish box drain overboard with gulper pump is a must. I hate fish boxes that dump all that blood and stuff into the bilge. All fish boxes need this but I was told front ones can not only aft. Bummer. I need to double check.
Coffin box standard (single door cover rear hinge) installed up against console as lounger.
4 electric reel outlets, one each side rear cockpit. One mid ship port side. One forward port side. All Hubbell outlets.
Livewells. Getting the two in the transom and the one aft under deck. I really don't have plans to use the one in deck but I looked at it from a different perspective. That's a big hole, with a drain to the outside that can be used for storage, ice, fish etc. Getting the large access door opening you can fit two five gallon buckets in this space for trash can, frozen bait etc. I also plan on having two custom inserts made for this compartment. First a fuel bladder that is made to fit from ATL. Nice to have 50 more gallons of fuel below deck and if it leaks its sealed and can be dumped outside without going into the bilge. Second, having a custom fish bag made to fit inside this compartment too it will hold ice and fish better then the fish boxes probably. In deck well no light and solid lid but two transom wells will have lights and clear lids.
Seachest. Hmm. Waffly on this one. I don't believe I need it even with the steps, but I like the idea and don't want to be hosed later. This is a $4000 option I just won't use that much but I might make my own or buy one. I like the pumps on the outside like the Hooker electric seachest but like the submerged ones since they are cooled by the water. More thinking to do on this one. I like a clean open bilge.
i have like 25 rod holders or something like that. A whole bunch, never have too many. I'll worry about the specifics later.
Welded bow rail I like having it one smooth piece without screws and couplings.
One pop up cleat in the bow, the two in the back can be normal since I always leave them out and it keeps salt water from getting down in there. Not getting any pop up fender cleats either, decided to use the rod holder fender holders since I had lots of rod holders down the gunnels and I didn't want even more holes drilled in the gunnel for cleats.
Adding some cup holders in various places (console, leaning post, gunnel besides lounger)
Gotta have fresh and raw water washdown pumps. I would like two fresh water tanks with two fresh water pumps. I would like one fresh water in starboard rear right next to transom door for swimming entry hose off and for engine flushing when remote over night. Want other fresh water washdown in port midship. Want raw water washdowns in starboard midship and starboard bow under gunnel.
LED light in the bilge and under gunnel lighting. Was going to do it myself but just letting them do it so I get the switches and breakers etc all factory built in. Underwater lights too, blue and white are fine.
Built in Garelick ladder is fine I like it stowed and out of the way.
Check if helm master ex comes with the CL5 display. Find out what the Furuno van pilot needs to integrate with Helm Master EX.
Getting the nav light which is usually in the bow mounted on the ttop its much nicer up there.
Getting nice Edson brushed stainless steering wheel with knob. Gotta have a nice beefy smooth knob steering wheel you use it the whole time you are on the boat.
Through hull transducer installation. We will see, I am getting one just don't know which one and where its going. May have to get it third party installed. I want a high chirp transducer in the front because it reads well going fast but I also want a low and medium and a Furuno 3D transducer element. Not sure how to get everything I want yet still discussing.
Getting the upgraded Livorsi trim tabs. They are never too big and I want the best ones I can get. Verify feedback sensors tie into N2K buss.
Leaning post M-Series. Comes only one way from contender now with tackle storage drawers etc. Getting the LLebroc seating upgrade need a comfy adjustable seat. Want the foot rest too folding. Want one for each seat individual not one big one.
Only thing left is colors. I think white and medium gray upholstery with black bottom, whisper gray sides, white cap, white console and white coffin box and white on top of the ttop. Under ttop whisper or dark grey and liner and deck whisper grey. Inside all fish boxes and hatches and live wells dark gray. Black rub rail I think. Colors are hard so many look good.
