For me, it's gotta be the vent windows.. We have friends that just bought a 2011 Four Winns with a pretty hefty price tag, the first time we went out with them they noticed our vent windows. lol. I also saw them gazing at the interior and discussing the differences between our 1998 Mariah and their brand new boat.

The first time they rode in our boat they noticed how quite it is too, no water noise against the hull, and they couldn't get over the smoother ride and what a big wake it puts out even though it's the same size boat as theirs.

My favourite is the transom mounted outdrive tilt switch.
I use it all the time, super handy.

Yep, I love my vent windows.....just like a 1965 Cadillac

I would have to say the fiberglass interior side walls. Have always gotten compliments.

I'm in on the transom tilt switch. Does it count since I installed it myself?

The depth finder (which I also installed) comes in handy when approaching sandbars and making sure my boat dock is deep enough.

Depth finders are great......But mine hasn't worked right all summer. The transducer was loose and NOW totally off. I asked today at a local marina if they would epoxy it back to the hull for me. They said no and don't know of anyone in the Madison area that would. because the results are not always satisfactory. Thanks a lot!!

You may want to check the dash switch which go bad over time. I have had to replace several over the years including the depth gauge switch. The internal contacts I believe wear out.
