Most boats don't have much access down there. People want salon and cabin space, so the DIY or mechanic pays the price. Buy a big sport fisher or a single engine trawler if you want more room. You can stand vertically in Nordhaven's 40.
Funny, I always praise SR for how they thought through design for maintenance issues. Barring a few items, things are pretty accessible.
I've been on some other boats recently wondering just how you would do maintenance or service them, or even get to various items.
Dude, if you're 6' 300#, I think you have pretty high expectations...Certainly don't look at a sailboat.
I think an anorexic dwarf could make a lot of money as a boat mechanic. I had to pay a skinny little guy to replace the water heater pressure relief valve on my 390 Motor Yacht. The water heater is behind the washer/dryer, and I don't know how he did it without removing everything.
It is not a mater of high expectations but certain items which will eventually have to be replaced should be in a fairly accessible area.. I designed heavy road machinery equipment and if I did not take serviceability in consideration the owners would have screamed bloody murder. Serviceability was usually the top 3 requested item when discussing new designs when we did customer surveys on what the wanted in a new piece of machinery.
Yes I understand that it cost a little extra from the engine manufacture to move the water pump from the left side to the right side, would I be willing to pay a few grand extra for having longer wires, mirrored image engines, hell yes, because in the long run it is going to save me in repair costs, sweat, bloody, trips to urgent care, etc...
Oh the horrors of 1st world problems it.

Tell me about it, an extra foot of wire wouldn't hurt, I know it affects the bottom line and there is a selling price point but geez-loueez cut the owner a break...
Know how to change the starter on a Cadillac Norstar V8? You have to pull the intake manifold, it's in the lifter valley, concealed...it's not just Sea Ray, and it's not just boats....
