I know some of these have been mentioned, but they need to be reiterated. The drains on the dash, in the fish holds, and storage boxes all need to be bigger. Most of mine were clogged from the get go. Also the drains for the fish boxes should drain overboard or through the hull. Gallons of tuna blood sloshing around the bilge, in areas that cannot be accessed is a real pain.
The voids in the transom well need to be addressed. I have had several people fishing on my boat and once they get a whiff of the rotten odor emanating from the voids, they get seasick and the day is ruined.
The rod holders need to have drains. I haven't had any real issues but having to shop vac the water out, is a pain.
I mentioned this earlier but there needs to be a backing plate on the cooler mounts. Mine ripped out the first time I had some ice and fish in the cooler. I also would like to see a thicker piece of plastic or Starboard at the bottom of the electronics box. The piece that is in there is too flexible so your electronics constantly bounce around and there is no way to get under there to use bolts and washers.
