I'm thinking the liquor cabinet which has a million screws holding it in is "not removable" but yet the check list says it has to be there ... so what would the difference be for the sliding top? which slides off with the removal of a couple of screws? and is a tribute to poor design using those dumb nylon slides and placing it so someone may damage it if they accidently step on it when it is half open. Getting a beer is like opening a safe!
The four plastic liner bins were original on #505 when I bought it new and were actually touted in the sales material. They were also on #327 when I bought that one. Now those I think have way more value than the ice box sliding table. on #526 there were only three plastic bins because that boat had an extra water tank.
But it really comes down to once you make a list of exactly what is needed the automatic logic is that if something is not on the check list to be checked off ... it doesn't need to be there/ Like the lids for the storage compartments and the plastic windows for the cabinets which are on the list. It is not like the list is hundreds of items long . it is a short simple list and in my mind absolutely defines what needs to be on the boat.
