Alumacraft Navigator, but this applies for most boats I've seen or have been in.

1) Recessed foot pedal. Not an issue for those that prefer the Terrova/Power Drive trolling motors, but it makes cable drive motors much more enjoyable to use.

2) Pedestal on the front deck moved back. This coincides with the first change I would make. The front of the boat feels really crowded, especially with a cable drive motor. It would be nice if the pedestal base was moved back a foot or so. Not an option on the Navigator specifically as the livewell prevents one from moving the pedestal back.

3) It would be nice if the rear deck was larger front to back. I also like Almost-B-Good's idea of having two pedestal locations. The pedestal on the back deck is almost useless as you have to take a few steps to be able to make a figure 8. It would be nice if there were two bases that were close to each side.
