I am very interested in a custom boat build for 2015.... I have a Q25 with Yami F300 and sport tower... like the boat but being in Ocean I want something else with some added protection and visability.
Something like a q25, this time F350 maybe (although the 300 has been nice), sport tower again, black out edition, but center console design.... I think if any brand wants to be taken seriously in an "ocean series" offering a center console elevated helm set up is a must. Not elevated by a few inches but more traditional like center console like design (see link below). Yes some RD needed but can not see too much, not talking new molds on all just re-conconfigure center of boat... (not suggesting easy but I think ROI here company wise) and believe could be a neat option to be offered to the masses. Where I am (Northeast) to be up higher, more view of bouys, lobster traps, other is huge and also given I am in some rougher conditions and higher winds a bit more protection would be awesome... raised center wind deflector, possible side like zip up clear sides for drivers area. When I say center console meaning helm station like this, roughly.

or this http://www.cobiaboats.com/boats/237cc/
This in the Scout offers a lot and big, but the other example a bit smaller....
seating for two, some protection from elements, small seat up front....If you view these these links and imagine without the hard top and just integrate it into sport tower w/bimini etc... to just to give an idea. Can have the same two rear facing lounge seats IMO... front of center console smaller seating then the Scout as not to eat up room where main surround couches are....
