Scott,
One thing I did not see the other guys mention is make sure you have the front seat. It may come standard on the 2005's not sure, I have a 2003 170Cool, New to me so I am in kinda the same boat, so to say, as you are. I did get out once or twice before our weather cooled down and really missed not having that seat to use while trolling. Congrats on your boat, I have found mine to be the best ride of any comparable boat on the water. Just pay attention to the details of caring for the ropylene. Keeping the boat trailered correctly etc.
Dave
