I would create a glass version of the new Lund Pro-V Bass (pedestal seat model). Kind of like the x-190 - but I'd give up some length to be a little wider to have larger side tanks to lay rods out on the sides. Would have to move the gas fill to the front or back and not on the side that blocks laying out rods for easy access. Basically, a bass/muskie boat layout with the little deeper V to handle the occasional chop.

Would run my Humminbird at the helm and put an iPilot Link/Ulterra off the bow to have spot lock and "follow the contour." Up front a Garmin with Panoptix. I want to start seeing fish out in front as I go into high percentage spots - are they there? Or move on.

Some how have a ready-made out of the way place for at least one, maybe 2 nets. (1 bass, 1 muskie). Yar-craft has done this with the new big tiller - the net slides into the front console and out of the way for easy access. If you could do that for at least the muskie net, I could live with the bass net laying around.

And lastly, no maintenance oil hub bearings for the trailer. Its just me, but I don't like having to remember to grease them twice a year...
