Trying to get advice on a couple of options if anyone has had experience with them please chime in.

Led docking lights on the tower or on the front of boat?
Steering wheel controls worth ?
Carpet vs Sea deck?

Thanks

Controls on the wheel are nice, when boat is in audio only mode they don't work so make sure you get a remote by driver also. My lights are on the front of the boat better for keeping bugs out of boat.
I like sea deck - personal preference

Sea Dek 100% are you crazy??????? Lol

I'd get every option you want. It's pennies when your buying a 140k boat

I would add Charcoal or red accents to the tower unless you was going for the all white look not much more to add them and a battery charger,That's gonna be sharp.

We were not fans of the tower docking lights. If you leave it off you wont have the satellite looking wing on the tower, which is the route we will go.

I don't know why, but for some reason I find this color scheme more appealing:

Maybe give it some thought, would you?

Think about 18 inch wheels. Two tone trailer. 4 tower speakers fill the tower up to me. 2 looks a little naked from behind. Bimini front cover if an option. Ptm clamping board racks.

Sea Deck over carpet every time...doesnt hold water, crumbs, dirt, etc. is easier to wash out.

Steering wheels controls are a must as well. I use them all the time, especially the backup camera and stereo controls...plus that steering wheels is far better looking than the stock Supra steering wheel.

Don't have the LED docking lights, but all the other LED lights are a big time bug attraction, so I would imagine the LED docking lights on the tower would draw even more bugs.

18" wheels look great, but is a fairly big expense for just looks...imo.

Going to go with the steering wheel controls and sea deck, still undecided on the docking lights. I changed the colours so the main panel will be grey metal flake.

I park my boat on a lift. The boat gets trailered once a year to the dealer, so I want to keep the trailer pretty basic. Would you even upgrade the jack and transom straps?

Nope. You can add straps if you ever need them.

What about the stock Jack? Is it worth the upgrade?

I would not spend the money if it is used 1 or 2 times per year.

Like others have said look at the docking lights under the bow, the new over the tower I bet are bright though. I wouldn't worry about the jack or the transom straps, you can add the straps for penny's when it's time to tow.

Thanks
I think I am going to ditch the ,straps and the jack and go for sea deck/wheel controls
Oh yeah and it is a mistake that I got two covers.
Can you store the boat with the tower down and leave the tower down when being stored or do I need the other tower down cover? I don't feel like putting the tower down overnight I wan to cover the boat.

The first cover on the builder, which is the over the tower cover, will only fit with the tower down. It does not have cutouts for the tower base or anything like that so unless tower is down you can't secure it all the way. The tower can be stored in the down position as long as you need, and with it being power it's a breeze to fold and raise. I want to say it took us maybe 20 seconds for it to fold all the way.

Also, on the builder it looks like you still have the standard board racks and tower docking lights. The clamping racks are very nice if you have not used them.

So you can leave the tower in the down position using the standard cover with cut outs?

I ordered both covers with my se so that I could use the regular cover at the dock when the tower is up with the Bimini out and boards. Then use the over the tower cover for when I take it home or to storage to keep everything covered and clean. Also as others have said the steering wheel controls are really handy and easy to control some main functions from while driving.

Congrats on the build, I saw an SL at the lake this weekend and could barely pick my jaw up off the dock!

I really like the look of the SA vs the SL , just trying to decide if it is that much better than the SA , looking at a 10k difference . This is getting to be a tough choice. Was able to ride a SA but not the SL
