Tell them to put an extra couple of layers on there, like a battleship! You want to put the bow down and bust through the waves, not bounce over them! And if you ever encounter a green buoy (doc piling) you'll be the winner and not the piling! I like those big stringers in there.
Side note, are there marine versions of LS engines?
My little dream boat would be a '71 Uniflite Salty Dog with twin LM340 Chryslers, Borg Warner Velvet Drive 72Cs turning 4-Blade NiBrAl 16x16 props for 41 knots.

The boat is heavy. Hull is solid. It ain’t built thin that’s for sure.
LS-based engines are made by Seven Marine. They start at about $80k and go up from there. 557 and 627.

What electronics are you going with? I'm running dual simrad NSS Evo3 and love them. Structure scan and Navionics card upgrades are a must. I also run XM weather integrated into Simrad. Prewired for Radar but haven't bit the bullet yet on that one. I highly recommend you have your builder preplum the T-Top for some extra accessories i.e. run 2 extra power cables up there and an extra NMEA 2000 cable. Looks like a fun boat! I bet you cant wait to get it!

It’s in the original post i think.
Dual GARMIN 7612. Fantom Radar. Kills me looking at this room full of GARMIN and JL Audio.
I’m not doing XM Weather.
What boat do you have?
Looks good. I know nothing about boats, so im just asking...well i worked on one for a buddy of mine about 15 yrs ago. I had to put an alternator in it and fix a piece of rotted wood by engine bay iirc it was a 454 inboard(?) looked like a reg car/truck motor sunken into hull, real PIA. Anyway, it had a lower cabin-ish area and couches and a toilet, no idea how long but im just curious... yours looks like it has no cabin and its just one level so what would be the difference or preference of one type or the other... not talking price... like i would think in S. FL you might want a place to get away from the sun or is it just more of a cruiser, fishing, hang out for a few hours type of thing, as opposed to sleeping on the water for a night or two. Im sure price is a big difference and there are 9,000 types of boats out there... i like pontoon boats but unless i move closer to a lake or south to the keys, its not happening.
So, is it a personal preference type of thing?

You’re talking about a cuddy. This boat does not have one. This is a fishing boat so the design is used to allow for more deck space.
They do make center consoles (like mine) with a cuddy but historically they don’t hold very well for resale.
The hull on this boat also has no wood. It’s all fiberglass/composite materials. So no worries about wood rot.

That's a sharp looking hull. Unique on the pointed bow, different flare and good freeboard.
