Hi Striperking. There are a number of modifications that I think would work. the hinged front locker that opens from the front allowing the cooler to remain in place for instance. I had the newer 2004+ baitwell lid put on my 2003, etc. You can also get replacement or different decals. I think Merritt Marine has some of those. If you see a mod you'd like to make it might be good to post in the "Tech Talk" forum to give Dick Cabble at Merritt a chance to respond. He, along with Carl Merritt, know more about these boats than anyone else I know.
