Here's my storage thing. Everything is removable with hardly any screws if I ever sell the boat it's very easy to return the inside to stock.

I've got a 98 Merc 50HP. I understand a 4 bladed prop is better for towing tubes, etc. I'm not so worried about getting the last possible .5 knot at WOT.

Here are my most important ones:
1: Boomkicker - Better sailshape and dispense with topping lift
2: Mastgate to keep Mainsail lugs inside mast track allows sail to come down & pack tighter
3: Lazyjacks - Quicker downhaul with no mess
4: NMEA network connecting plotter/ engine/fuel flow/ VHF DSC
5: Helmsman swivel chair - More room and adjustable
My boat came with anchor roller and in- cockpit rigging
