Docsuds Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Hoping to finalize order on my next boat this week - 2500 hybrid Looking for input from current owners - What options do you wish you had gotten but didn't? - What options did you get you're finding you wish you hadn't? - Anyone get any factory alterations not on the "standard options" list? - To powder coat or not to powder coat? Anyone know if MBG does anything special that might make the powder coating less likely to have issues? - Can anyone tell me the size of the console where MFDs are mounted? I don't have a dealer near me and I'm trying to figure out if I can do 2 @ Simrad NSS9 evo3 units on the console; there aren't a whole lot of build threads, and all the one's I can find had a single 10" or 12" MFD. Really appreciate any input anyone can provide! Thanks! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall Tails Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I kept mine pretty simple. No T-top, no tower. Options I wanted were 2 power poles, the tackle station with additional 4 rod holders behind it, trim tabs, and I had the fish box plumbed with a macerator pump only because if I didn't I was told it would drain to the bilge. I bought and installed the 36 volt Rhodan trolling motor on the front. Things I would not have done but were standard... under gunnel lighting, wash down pump. Both handy but unnecessary for my use. If you live bait you will want to fabricate a sleeve for your stand-pipe. That's been discussed on a recent thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybuffett Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Bump. I'm also interested in setup ideas. I like Tall Tails simple setup. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsh102 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Macerator pump on fish box, have the factory do the sea dek under the gunnels, I had a custom rod holder built on the back side of the seating tackle center, I thought I saw somewhere that PF now has it as an option, it is worth every penny. Dual power poles do not interfere with the swim platform which was a concern for me, my Christmas present to myself is another power pole. Put the maximum amount of horsepower your wallet can handle. I love my boat just wish it had a little more speed. The 350 Verado is the perfect power for this hull, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a bleeder Monday if not for the wash down would have been a lot more work with rags. Blanket is for my dog, Mickey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
