    What would you change about your boat in a new one?

    I'll start.

    No more below waterline through-hulls.

    No more cut out transoms for the outboard.

    No more catwalks around the cuddy so narrow that my little sister's feet can barely fit in them.

    No more cuddy's so low at the catwalk that any handhold installed on them would be at knee level.

    No more fish boxes below waterline.

    No more lockers or fish boxes that are not glassed in at the top (which causes fish goo to slop into the bilge and stink up the boat for weeks after sitting in the coastal summer sun).

    No more 360 anchor lights mounted to the top of the windshield so when it's dark and the nav lights are on the light blinds me when I'm at the helm.

    No more small boats where the Switlick can't be mounted on deck somewhere and still be out of the way.

    No more boats without a swim platform or a motor platform of some kind off the back of the boat to make getting back in the boat easy.

    That's about all the complaints I have about my SeaPro. That's enough, right?

    Realisticly,

    It doesn't matter. I've never met a man that once he found his "perfect" boat, within 90 day's will say "on my next boat" it'll have ...... It's all a progression of thing's. There's no perfect boat built as of yet. By the time you figure out what you really want, you'll be too old to go out any more. Truth, Frank

    Two engines instead of one, bigger, and newer!

    I'm not all that picky!

    You forgot the crew of scantily clad women and an unlimited supply of cold beer!

    No surprise a SeaPro owner has a list of complaints about her boat.

    You're right - I don't drink beer... But I'm not as old as you
