Removable / replaceable recovery points on Scouts

Removable/replaceable recovery points. It would be nice to swap out for other gear, and could be a mounting point for an aftermarket bumper that just covers the current bumper and leaves holes for sonar/radar/camera points. Or just make all the electronics modular and have it pop out of the current bumper and snap into a new one.

This would be genius. Why has no other manufacturer done this already? Is there possibly crash test / safety rating issues going with this type of construction?

I would think that it would avoid all of that by not changing the original bumper. But it’s likely more complex that I know.
