Happy Heart FD80 factory customizations

Purpose-built enhancements elevate Happy Heart FD80 far beyond standard, beginning with an upgraded hydraulic Hi/Lo platform capacity increased from 1,750 lbs/790 kg to 2,200 lbs/990 kg and a robust MarQuipt 7‑step side‑boarding sea stair for effortless embarkation. Hands‑on deck handling is refined by twin Maxwell VC2500 electric rope capstans on the aft deck and twin chain counters—one per windlass—while a 32" electric flip‑down TV adds open‑air entertainment aft. The fixed platform has been extended by approximately 2 ft and specially reinforced along with the Hi/Lo mechanism, then finished with additional teak for beauty and strength. Ground tackle is upgraded to a deck‑mounted anchor system with twin 90 kg stainless‑steel CQR anchors replacing the standard pocket anchors, and fresh air and light are amplified via three openable screened portholes added to the master stateroom—one starboard, one port, and one in the shower room—plus one openable porthole in the galley. Aft, two glass windows are inset into the stern bar top to pour natural light into the beach club, and recessed floor sockets in multiple positions enable effortless movement and reconfiguration of the table. Heavy‑duty capability continues with the standard Steelhead davit upgraded to a 2,200 lbs rating, an extra Stidd N500 manual helm chair, the main engines upgraded from the standard CAT 1,136 HP to CAT 1,600 HP, and the stern thruster upgraded from SH420 to SH550 (550 kg) to match the bow thruster. Command is expanded with one extra remote handheld control—throttles, gears, and thrusters—plus two plug‑in receptacle locations, one on the aft deck and one in the pilothouse. The proposed NAV package upgrade is comprehensive: the standard 4' radar is upgraded to a 6' Garmin GMR 1236 xHD3 and a second radar is added—a Fantom 54 solid‑state open array with pedestal (4‑foot/50 W/72 nm); the standard 16" multifunction displays in the pilothouse are upgraded to three Garmin GPSMAP 9222 22" MFDs; the standard Maretron monitor is replaced by one Garmin GPSMAP 9222 22" MFD; and an MBB300C is added so Maretron data can be input to the Garmin display for full Maretron system control and monitoring. Vision is expanded further with a Garmin Surround View camera system, and convenience rises with additional outlets discreetly installed in the base of the aft‑deck sofa and on the port‑side table pedestal of the bow deck. Blue‑water autonomy and comfort are fortified with the standard watermaker upgraded to Spot Zero SeaXchange XTCII 1800 and ZTCII 2000*, a Headhunter sanitary treatment system TW‑HMX 6001LP*, an 18K BTU air handler in the engine room including controller, a Honeywell dehumidification system comprising four units each with a T10 ProSmart thermostat control panel, and Dometic air conditioning specified with variable‑frequency drives instead of smart starts. Interior ease is enriched by single‑layer electric blinds in the salon (except the entrance door) and electric blinds in the master stateroom (except the head), a U‑LINE wine cooler, and refrigeration upgraded from one full‑height unit to two total units comprising a 30" full‑height refrigerator and a 30" full‑height freezer; a full set of Horizon‑logo galley tableware for 10 is included—dish holder, pots/pans, dishes, plates, knives, forks, and glasses*—along with an extra set of bed sheets for all cabins including crew and one set of towels for all heads including crew and day heads. Entertainment receives a major lift via the AV package upgrade: larger TVs in the salon, skylounge, master stateroom, and beach club; the TV lifts in both skylounge and salon upgraded to electric flip‑down brackets sized to the TVs; extra SONOS amps and rear‑channel speakers for the salon and master staterooms; an extra SONOS amp, an extra pair of speakers, and a subwoofer for the skylounge; an extra SONOS amp and Fusion speakers (one pair) on the forward deck and aft deck; SONOS amps and Fusion speakers (one set each) in each crew cabin for a total of two sets; LUTRON Pico remote controls for the SONOS system per number of rooms, including repeaters, totaling 12 remotes; and a Control4 system dedicated to AV control only in the forward deck, skylounge, boat deck, aft deck, and the main deck including saloon, galley, and master stateroom. Rounding out the custom inventory are fridge and freezer drawers (Vitrifrigo DW180IXD1‑ESI‑1) in the crew/beach club and a Zodiac 8‑person life raft secured on a custom‑made bracket.

Happy Heart standard features

Note—The following standard features may be superseded by the upgrades listed above; for any questions, please ask the central agent for more details. Hull and main structure are engineered to world‑class standards with ABS/DNV type‑approved fiber/resin and sandwich core materials throughout, a white gelcoat finish for the hull above the waterline as well as exterior decks and furniture, and a one‑piece hull and superstructure utilizing SCRIMPTM technology with Horizon’s patented 6D infusion including longitudinal and transverse stringers. The hull, deck, and superstructure are built with the licensed SCRIMPTM process for improved strength and reduced weight, with a high‑density foam‑cored hull bottom and high‑density Divinycell or equivalent foam coring to the hull sides, decks, and superstructure. Stringers are high‑density foam cored and all interior structural components are properly bonded to the hull, which is further protected by a strong collision bulkhead. Below the waterline, international anti‑fouling bottom paint with anti‑osmosis treatment is applied and underwater appendages receive PropSpeed/PropGold metal coating. Efficiency is enhanced by tunnels for reduced draft and a High Performance Piercing Bow (HPPB) with stainless‑steel protection plates, while the upper deck carries a bump‑out design at both port and starboard.

Exterior deck and equipment showcase a teak aft deck, teak swim platform, and teak steps to the boat deck and swim platform, with non‑skid for remaining surfaces, all encircled by an FRP cap rail. Ground tackle is handled by twin Maxwell VWC3500 vertical hydraulic anchor winches with local foot switches and remotes feeding twin 300 ft high‑tensile 1/2" anchor chains onto twin 90 kg stainless‑steel anchors, guided by stainless‑steel rollers and secured by chain stoppers. Heavy‑duty 316 stainless‑steel cleats and fairleads with rollers, twin aft‑deck corner hawser pipes, bulwarks with flush‑mounted courtesy lights and twin bulwark side doors for boarding underline practicality. A freshwater and seawater manual anchor‑chain washdown system, a 1‑3/4" handrail supported by 1‑1/2" stainless‑steel stanchions and steel cables around the entire boat, and a stainless‑steel flagpole at the bow join standard lines and six Polyform F‑7 fenders. Up forward, a Portuguese bridge with seats and a foredeck sunpad with drink holders and twin pop‑up lights meet frameless, slightly tinted tempered laminated Low‑E windshield glass and frameless, tinted tempered laminated side windows. Safe movement is ensured by stairs from aft deck to swim platform with stainless‑steel gate doors and handrails, a saloon manual entrance 3‑pane folding sliding door—one hinged, two foldable and slidable—with self‑locking, twin deckhouse side entrance doors, and a wind door on each side of the aft deck for walkway access. The aft deck presents a Hi/Lo dining table with FRP seating per layout and one integrated stair to the upper deck; the hydraulic Hi/Lo swim platform lifts a tender up to 1,750 lbs and carries two pop‑up cleats. Included are two boat hooks shipped loose, a built‑in hot/cold shower above the swim platform, an extractable or foldable swim ladder, and a pair of sun awnings serving foredeck and boat deck. Protection includes a rub rail around the hull sides, stainless‑steel portholes, exterior LED step lights, 2" removable corner rails on the swim platform, and pre‑wiring for an LED boat name on port, starboard, and stern—three sets, maximum eight letters per set. Doors to exterior areas are screened except for curved doors, L‑shaped hatch doors, and pantograph doors. At the beach club, a hydraulic door with a pantograph door in the middle opens to a sofa with table as per layout.

A skylounge helm station with a sliding self‑locking door to the boat deck, air conditioning, and a roof hatch at the aft starboard corner with a ship‑loose retractable ladder anchor the upper level, joined by L‑shaped seating with table as per layout and a day head located in the skylounge or pilothouse. The boat deck/upper deck carries non‑skid and configurable furnishing options: either a Jacuzzi with heating or three sun loungers. Standard Sunbrella fabrics dress exterior cushions and Sunbrella canvas covers protect the boat deck, helm seats, aft‑deck seats, sunpad and foredeck cushions and seat. Countertops and tabletops are offered in standard Corian/Granite/Quartz over FRP (excluding extended designs), and a custom bar with sink and refrigerator is built as per layout adjacent to either a hidden 24" propane BBQ with manual Hi/Lo or a 15" teppanyaki grill with cover. Oversize drains with strainers at each corner of the boat deck lead to internal overboard drains beneath a radar arch with antenna bracket. Night running is aided by twin Tokai Sanshin LED searchlights and four Lumitec floodlights—two on the mast and two for the boat deck—while chrome‑plated Buell air horns crown the arch. A stainless‑steel flagpole flies aft above a Steelhead ES1750 hydraulic davit rated 1,750 lbs, and warm‑white LED lights illuminate the Horizon logos on both port and starboard sides.

In the pilothouse, a manual Stidd pilot chair faces heavy‑duty Speich stainless‑steel wipers with wash system and variable speed control on each windshield wiper, shading via standard black mesh. Navigation is centered on a Ritchie or Danforth or equivalent magnetic compass at the helm and international LED navigation lights—anchor, masthead, stern, port, and starboard—totaling five units. Engine data is delivered by a full set of engine gauges at the helm and electric fuel and water level gauges, supported by a monitoring system for key equipment including bilge pumps, blowers, and navigation lights, and a surveillance camera system with two PTZ cameras, one on the aft deck and one in the engine room.

Propulsion and steering are entrusted to twin CAT C18A 1,136 HP diesel engines with reduction gears (upgraded to C32 1,600 HP*), with live SAE‑C PTOs on the gearboxes powering thrusters/windlasses and stabilizers and SAE‑A PTOs on the engines driving the hydraulic steering gear. The Seatorque shaft system—Seatorque Bolt On Shaft System “BOSS” model M4B with AQ22HS stainless‑steel shaft, Cardan shaft, and QuicKutter line cutters—spins high‑performance S‑class five‑blade NiAlBr propellers via bronze struts with backing plates. Steering confidence comes from rudder packing glands with Tides Marine dripless seals or equivalent, a ZF command engine control with chrome control head at the helm, a Dual‑Band Yacht Controller, a Hypro or equivalent power steering system, and twin FRP foil balanced blade rudders with stainless‑steel stocks supported by a stainless‑steel emergency tiller in the rudder cabin. The underwater exhaust system features bypass mufflers, and motion is settled by a Side‑Power hydraulic stabilizer system SPS93B VF1650 (1.65 m²) with “At Anchor” function, Side‑Power hydraulic bow thruster SH550 (550 kg) and stern thruster SH420 (420 kg), and a Zipwake or equivalent interceptor system.

The engine room is cleanly designed with a lightweight honeycomb floor, watertight bulkheads forward and aft, and a heavy‑duty insulated door. Stainless‑steel overhead grab rails run along each side of the engines beneath LED ceiling lights, with blue LED rope lights under engines adding visibility. Anti‑noise treatment with sound and heat insulation wraps the compartment, which breathes via Delta‑T reversible AC intake blowers with automatic speed control and Delta‑T or equivalent de‑misters. Engine loads are distributed through flexible mountings on stainless‑steel engine beds bonded to the FRP hull girder, alarms are fitted per engine standard, and service is aided by an air compressor, Trident or equivalent exhaust hose, and a workbench where feasible.

Electrical systems are meticulously executed with color‑coded wiring, AC and DC main panels with circuit breakers, and sub‑panels with breakers in each zone for distribution. AC receptacles are located throughout, including the engine room, with GFI protection for all AC outlets on exterior decks, in heads, galley, and engine room. Generators exhaust through fiberglass water/exhaust separators, and the hull is safeguarded by an electrolysis bonding system and cathodic protection with zinc anodes for shafts and struts. Atmosphere is refined by indirect lighting under valances in the salon, staterooms, skylounge, and galley; dimmer systems for LED ceiling lights in the aft deck and skylounge; and dimmers for LED ceiling lights in the saloon, pilothouse, and master and VIP staterooms. Italian Vimar switches outfit the lighting system, a motion‑detection light serves the guest foyer near the staircase, and six underwater lights add nighttime allure. An electrical system variant complies with Australian requirements when specified. The AC/DC main power system comprises Onan 29 kW (60 Hz) generators with sound shields, four 255 Ah 12 V AGM start batteries for engines/generators with two chargers, four 255 Ah 12 V AGM batteries for ship’s 24 V DC service power with two combined inverter/chargers, all batteries properly enclosed and secured, and an ignition‑protected battery switch. Power distribution is via Octoplex (ABB circuit breakers or equivalent for Australia), and a Maretron monitoring and control system is installed. Shore power arrives through twin Glendinning Cablemasters, 100 Amp each with 75' cables, feeding twin 100 Amp ISO boost transformers wired as polarization transformers; there are two 100 Amp shore power plugs and, for USA only, twin 100 Amp bow receptacles. The standard navigation suite provides Garmin GPS, a Garmin 48" 12 kW 72 nm open‑array radar system, three Garmin 16" multifunction displays, a Garmin autopilot, Garmin wind/speed/temperature transducers, twin Garmin VHFs with built‑in loudhailer, and Garmin AIS.
