Brian...I'm guessing you guys have resisted making the really big changes that I've mentioned previously and some I haven't. I understand mold changes in an economy like we've been facing are not likely.

We've made several mold changes as well. But no anchor lockers in ATs!! They make great projectiles, especially when you get past the Baja breakwater and into AT water! 
I suggest a Box Anchor and keep it in a duffle bag under the back seat or wherever like many of us do. Either that, or arrive about 10 minutes later after a buddy sets anchor first. Once you use a Box Anchor, you won't go back to any other kind anyhow--I guarantee it.

I like a guy with a good sense of humor! I'll send you a pic of a properly designed anchor locker that even a Cig couldn't turn into a projectile! While you were making mold changes did you move the foot rests to some place that somebody other than Wee Man can actually use? And a sliding cabin door with integral steps to climb to the deck would be a game changer! And finally, flipping the channel in the front deck would retain structural integrity of deck, gain 3 inches of headroom in cabin and eliminate duck pond behind rear hatch after rain/washing.

Dash is totally different. Footrest is totally different. Sliding doors have been done for years.
Proper way to access the bow is go up the backseat and up the walk rail. Send a passenger up there anyway, no free lunch.
The channel is not getting flipped. It's designed for headroom when sitting on the couch, not standing in the middle. Besides, everyone already thinks the AT deck derived from a Sonic that had a little too much vacuum bagging. (Totally false by the way.).
Pat's Pond is by design anyhow. You don't need a bucket when washing the deck. Squirt a little soap in there when spraying down the deck, and swab your brush in the pond. (Try it, works like a charm.)

Pats pond is just screaming for some Koi and a fountain!
I'll be counting on seeing all the updates in Miami!
Most of my riders are too top heavy to go up the walk around and that for the record...is a good thing ;-)

Screw the anchor locker. That is nothing but a problem waiting to happen!

I would recommend you keep, at the very least, O/P, fuel and H2O temp. If your GPS goes down you have nothing. You could also entertain a vessel-view which reads everything. Navigating thru the featherbeds in the Keys and flipping the screen back and forth to look at gauges is hard on the drives....
