    You can start with a recessed trolling motor tray.

    AMEN!!! Added this to my 2001 ZX225 and won't own another boat without one.

    I added a KeeGuard to mine shortly after I bought it.

    Upgraded my electronics to Humminbirds with the Interlink system.

    Replaced my bilge, aeriator, and recirc pumps a couple months ago with bigger better ones.

    I've also added new latches to mine. It had the old D-ring plastic Pergo latches. Replaced them with the Chrome T-ring style. Looks much better.

    My next "upgrade" will be a new bow dash. Going to get one from Skeeter that I can mount my graph flush on the bow.

    Here is a great write up on a live well pump out system. I have also installed this as well. The only diff. is I have four pumps instead of two with the valves. I removed them and use plugs. All four pumps are 750 gph. There is a thread about the rod straps if you need them. If you don't you will at some point. Good luck they are great boats!!!
