Had a 2010, and now have the 2020 I ordered just before the pandemic hit hard. I glad I don’t have the anchor locker as mine has a molded spot for an anchor anyways. I will say I preferred the two insulated storage boxes on the bow my 2010 had versus the one I have now and a Engle cooler. ( obviously wasn’t a deal breaker for me ) I do like the seat and backrest I have now compared to the split seats the 2010 has. Put the 150 on both and to be honest it’s not needed, it is scary fast, which brings me to trimming the tabs I have now are clearly better but for what ever reason I preferred the 2010 maybe it was because it had a indicator gauge that let you know what position the tabs were in, common, why no indicator on boat of this caliber? No it’s not needed but it is nice for reference. My biggest complaint though came recently when I went to open my hatch to the release well and the bolt that secures the “dog” for the latch literally twisted in half, this is a 5/16” bolt which literally twisted in half right above the nut above the dog where the keeper pin goes through the bolt. This blows me away that it happened let alone happened on a boat with less the 100 hrs kept in a garage and services annually. My complaint isn’t that it happened it’s that when I contacted MBC ( not to ask for warranty, or complain that this happened on my $60,000 boat with less then 100 hours ) to order a new one I was told I had to order from my dealer. I get the partnership thing but something like this you should have just told me who manufactured the latch and let me order it online instead of making us pay more with third party. I will check TA Mahoney etc but will pay dealer prices if I have to just to keep everything original. Sorry about the rant but felt you should know how someone who has owned two of your boats felt ( right or wrong ) when dealing with customer service. I would have sent one right out to you since it should have never happened. Still Love the platform. Tight lines.
I’m been guiding and fishing Mavericks and Hewes for over 25 years and to this day I still cannot find one by the way I want it rig out. Unfortunately it looks like it’s time to start looking at different brand. It seems like the customer service is gone through the weekend warriors and I forgot about the guides and the professionals who made the company
I'm really in love with the boat but let me say this before you guys let in on me I understand it's a "fishing boat " but I just don't understand a 100,000 k and not one damn cup holder on the boat I'm a professional capt myself and my wife and I love our island days as well and it's built around guiding but just seems a bit off that there's not one cup holder molded. I went on the hull truth and looked and it's been talked about numerous times. Just seems odd . But definitely a fan of the room and layout.

Agreed sad but true!!!
What brands have you been looking at? I’ve never really liked the layout as well.
Sitting on the seat does not allow you to be inline with the steering wheel because of the cut out for the storage latch.
Nice post
Is the backrest easily removable to create less obstruction, more room on the back deck?
14" draft seems deep for a skinny water-type boat
21 is not the boat u buy for skinny type fishing
Please make a new fusion 2100
It would have made more sense to put the live well under the folding bench seat and storage behind the seat.
