Overview

Impeccably finished in furniture-quality, hand-rubbed satin Burmese teak, the interior cabinetry, bulkheads, and wall surfaces exude warmth and refinement, with durable Formica or FRP reserved for the heads. A vinyl headliner carries throughout, again yielding to Formica in the heads, while tempered and tinted window glass and a classic teak-and-holly sole create a timeless ambiance. Illumination is thoughtfully executed with high-quality AC and DC lighting and halogen overhead fixtures on dimmers. Interior doors and cabinets are fitted with premium hardware, opening windows and doors feature secure locking gear, drawers are neatly completed with Formica bottoms, and hanging lockers illuminate automatically for effortless convenience.

The salon invites with a large, open plan and true 360-degree visibility, flowing aft through a sliding door to the cockpit and laterally via port and starboard sliders to the full walk-around decks. Natural airflow and light pour through five sliding windows with teak-framed screens, while entertainment is anchored by a Fusion Stereo/DVD/Bluetooth system and a newer Samsung TV. Custom fabric valances, upholstered cushions on the L-shaped settee, and a Hi-Lo table that converts to a berth enhance versatility and comfort. To starboard, two occasional chairs and four swing-arm reading lamps provide relaxed seating, and a TV cabinet sits neatly in the aft starboard corner.

Perfectly appointed for cruising, the galley features Formica countertops, a double stainless-steel sink with a single-lever faucet, a Kenyon three-burner 220V cooktop, and a Panasonic stainless microwave/convection oven. Practical touches include white Formica-lined drawer bottoms and slide-out shelves in the cabinets. Cold storage is generous with newer stainless Vitrifrigo refrigerator/freezer drawers—two sets totaling four drawers—a dedicated freezer with ice maker new in August 2018, and an additional U-Line refrigerator in the cockpit. An overhead cabinet and ample pantry storage complete this highly functional space.

At the lower helm, a comprehensive console delivers complete engine instrumentation supported by engine warning lights, with a dimmer for instrument illumination and hydraulic steering via a teak-and-stainless destroyer-type wheel. Hynautic/hydraulic engine controls and a Danforth compass underscore confident command, while AC/DC distribution panels and generator controls consolidate critical systems at hand. Comfort and practicality are assured with a folding seat and footrest, flush sliding doors to the side decks port and starboard, and a stairway to the flybridge. Navigation and communication are modern and robust, including a newer Simrad autopilot, B&G depth and speed, an ICOM 506 VHF, a VDO rudder angle indicator, and a Ritchie digital compass, complemented by a Link 10 battery monitor, HRO watermaker controls, and an intercom.

The accommodations are serene and capacious. In the master, a custom innerspring queen mattress promises restful nights beneath two large overhead hatches with teak-framed screens and three opening ports. Direct access to the forward head, camphor-lined hanging lockers with automatic lights, custom draperies on the portlights, two bell-style reading lights, and abundant drawers and cabinetry underscore thoughtful design. The guest cabin offers a lower double bunk and a slide-away upper bunk, aided by two opening ports and an overhead hatch with teak screen, along with camphor-lined hanging lockers with automatic lights and two bell-style reading lights.

Both heads are equipped with Sealand Vacu-flush systems, Formica countertops, single-lever faucets, a Sealand macerator pump and tank vent with Sealand vent filter, and efficient ventilation blowers. Three opening ports and one opening hatch enhance airflow, while a granite seat in the stall shower adds an upscale, practical touch.

Up top, the flybridge and boat deck form a commanding outdoor helm and entertaining zone. The helm console presents full engine instrumentation, Capilano hydraulic steering controls, Hynautic hydraulic engine controls, and a Wesmar thruster switch, guided by a Danforth compass with professional adjustment. Two FRP instrument pods, two Pompanette helm chairs, and seating with storage beneath over teak grating deliver comfort and order. Protection and utility come via a plexiglass flybridge instrument cover, a molded FRP radar arch, and a stainless-steel handrail. Equipment includes a Brower Systems 800 lb low-profile davit, four teak chairs and a table for alfresco moments, and advanced electronics with two newer Simrad touch-screen GPS/plotter/radar units, an ICOM 506 VHF installed August 2018, a VDO rudder angle indicator, and a Danforth 4" compass, plus a FUSION Stereo remote. A three-sided enclosure and custom boat deck shade broaden the usable season.

On the lower decks, a wide FRP swim step with a stainless-steel swim ladder simplifies water access, and boarding doors to port, starboard, and the transom streamline dockside handling. Contrasting non-glare, non-skid decks inspire confidence underway. The exterior spec is exemplary, featuring eight Hood stainless portlights painted to match the gelcoat, all exterior stainless in electro-polished 316 Grade, and no exterior aluminum. Bow and stern flag sockets, an emergency tiller, six hull hawse holes/chocks, and two transom hawse holes round out the purposeful detailing.

The cockpit is engineered for both action and ease, with Hynautic controls, a Wesmar thruster switch, and a large lazarette storage locker. A convenience cabinet houses a sink with hot and cold fresh water and a single-lever faucet, while a hot and cold fresh water shower resides in a molded FRP cabinet. Movement is effortless via a cockpit-to-flybridge stainless ladder with FRP treads, and a custom teak folding table at the transom pairs with a fresh water washdown to elevate entertaining and cleanup.

Forward, an FRP anchor platform with stainless roller supports a Lewmar 66 lb claw anchor connected to 300’ x 5/16” high-test chain, driven by a Maxwell 2200-pound vertical windlass with dual direction, three-station control, and electric overload protection. Bow seat storage, a fresh water washdown, a stainless bow pulpit and 1 1/4” safety railings, and four Bomar deck hatches further emphasize security and practicality.

Mechanical systems and upgrades reflect a commitment to reliability and comfort, beginning with twin Cummins 450 hp engines and a 12 kW Northern Lights generator. Climate control is assured by Marine Air 32,000 BTU air conditioning with heat, supplemented by a diesel heat system and three 110V electric heaters. Maneuvering is aided by a Wesmar 24V bow thruster. Long-range autonomy comes via an HRO H2O Maker rated at 600 GPD. The engine room is meticulously finished—fully insulated with high-density foam and an aluminum barrier shield, served by two four-inch engine room blowers with PVC ducting, smooth polyester-painted bilges, and molded FRP engine drip pans. Filtration is robust, with two Racor 1000 MA fuel filters for each engine new in 2026, and one Racor 500 MA fuel filter for the generator, also new in 2026. Running gear comprises stainless rudder posts, Aquamet 22 stainless propeller shafts, three-blade expanded-area propellers, shaft scratchers, quality bronze V-struts, and stainless hydrodynamic rudder blades. Bennett 12” x 48” trim tabs with two-station controls fine-tune the ride, while engine room access from both the lazarette and forward stairs simplifies service. Safety and refinement continue with a Fire Boy automatic engine shutdown system, baffled engine air intakes to control H20 induction, custom-formed stainless engine beds, Aqua Flow mufflers for the main engines, custom 316L Grade stainless exhaust risers, underwater lights, and a Starlink system to keep you connected offshore.

The electrical suite centers on a 12 kW Northern Lights generator showing 1,897 hours, an Outback inverter with Link 10 monitor, and a Charles Marine isolation transformer. Charging is managed by Phase 3 12V and Phase 3 24V battery chargers, a 40 amp “smart” charger, and a battery parallel system feeding four 8D house batteries and two 8D engine-start batteries. Complete AC and DC electrical distribution panels at the lower station include breaker protection and indicator lights, with a five-point switch for the AC panel. Deck and safety lighting are comprehensive, with four 12V deck dome lights, two 12V halogen cockpit floods, seven exterior safety lights, Aqua navigation lights in a white finish, and dedicated AC and DC engine room lighting. Shore power is flexible with port and starboard receptacles and a 50/250 shore cord new in July 2018, plus one phone/cable/TV connector and a complete bonding system.

Tanks and plumbing are engineered for durability and ease of service, featuring two stainless freshwater tanks in the lazarette and a molded FRP holding tank beneath the forward sole. Fuel capacity is distributed across four epoxy-painted, insulated engine-room tanks whose faces are sheathed in aluminum-clad hardboard, plumbed with stainless supply and return manifolds with sight gauges. Every tank includes clean-outs and shutoff valves, with supply lines wisely drawn from the aft lowest corners. Redundancy and safety include a Whale Gusher hand bilge pump, a Rule 800 shower sump pump, a bilge water alarm, and four bilge pumps with super switches. Distribution employs heavy-wall, color-coded copper supply tubing, pressure pumps on both fresh and seawater systems with inline filters, and a pressure accumulator tank on the freshwater system. All through-hulls are secured with bronze sea cocks, with bronze sea strainers for the engines and generator, and a common sea chest drain system minimizes hull penetrations. A 15-gallon water heater rounds out a comprehensive, cruise-ready platform.
