The Donfather Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 575 motor is the bomb. If you are out at night get the Theatre lighting and surf lights and dock lighting. oldsmobiledriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFM56-7 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Quick plane cavitation plate is an absolute must IMO if it isn't included in the surf system option. CFM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeTJ Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 How and where do you intend to use the boat? I kept my options list short on mine and haven't missed what I didn't get. One thing I highly recommend is having the factory install forward cleats. It is beyond me why these boats come standard with only midship and stern cleats. Forward/bow cleats are very useful and I'm glad I asked to have them installed. Aside from that, only options I selected were PNP (1100s), surf system + cav plate. Went with the standard stereo, which rocks. Didn't want tower speakers. Don't boat much in the cold so no heater. 400 engine has served me well.

bloodiestcadaver Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I wish I had the metal flake allover instead of just the pearl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWCasper Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 In addition to the bow cleats TJ mentioned above; 1. I'd like to have another set of trailer tie downs in a location that doesn't interfere with the tabs. 2. If you're going to primarily use the boat for wake surfing, recommend swapping the standard Exile HLCD XM9s for Exile SXT9Qs with the 1" titanium tweeter. They won't project sound out to 65' (as well) for wake boarding, but they sound FAR superior for wake surfing and the cove compared to the up close harshness of the horn loaded tweeters. Brian @ Exile swapped my XM9s for SXT9Qs shortly after I took delivery - Huge improvement in sound quality. 3. Get the bow PnP bag option. Wasn't available when I ordered my '17 - Had to add it after the fact. scottdpfister 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbag Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Seems really odd to have no bow cleat. Damn! Where do you tie the anchor? I need to see if I can get them added to my build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeTJ Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Yes they will add them. At least they did on my 16 build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeTJ Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Regarding the anchor, though, I almost always clip mine to the bow eye, not a cleat. MWCasper, Birddog7.62 and Hyperryd 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbag Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Regarding the anchor, though, I almost always clip mine to the bow eye, not a cleat. Ok - that makes sense. Probably a better spot with the cleats off to the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run 250 in lead under the bow cushions. Sometimes I will also partially fill a 650 bow bag on top of the cushions if we don't have any people up there.
