Comes with trim tabs already, outriggers to follow, don't know about what he is going to do concerning auto pilot.
He narrowed his choice between the Parker Steiger and this Maycraft.
The Steiger came in second, mostly due to the fact that fishing things for the boat are all options, and it was 9G's above this boat and it was for the 23 footer. Their 25 has a foot and a hlf step down to get into the cuddy and you had to duck your head to do so, their 23 had the same floor height all the way forward like the Maycraft, making it easy to go forward to the helm but it was a 23, no where near as much room and all the fishing things like rod holders on the roof baitwells etc were all options, plus it was a notched transom. For a lot more money ::)
The Parker was sweet but we were all over the Parkers at three boat shows and were not impressed with a lot of things, and for the money they were asking, well it threw them out of contention at least to me. I think they are nice but for example the gaurd rail going forward you could flex with your hand back and forth. We got down and looked and it was a little screw that came out of each stanchion and went thru the deck and was secured with a little 3/4 inch washer and half inch nut. There were othe things but for the money they wanted for the 25 set up like this Maycraft which has a full transom, Full width Armstrong Bracket the bait station and hot tub sized live well and all the other accoutrements the price was almost 90 G's out the door. Those are some crack smoking f@ckers let me tell ya.
