Updates and upgrades

Meticulous recent enhancements underscore this yacht’s care and readiness, beginning with a comprehensive new bottom job complemented by new zincs, a reconditioned bow thruster, and a professionally reconditioned propeller. The shafts were checked, all new cutlass bearings and shaft seals were installed, and a precise realignment of the engine to the shafts was completed. Further reliability comes from the rudder bearing and seals being replaced, the transom receiving a fresh clear coat, and the port transmission being fully serviced. For added comfort and confidence underway, the Seakeeper Gyro M3500 remains under warranty through 08/2028.

Exterior and construction

A forward salon window mask defines the profile, while the hull presents in a rich Flag Blue, painted in March 2020, beneath an enclosed flybridge. Deck and hardware refinements include a polished anchor served by a fresh water wash system, a fender track tucked beneath the rubrail, and a faux teak toe rail sealed with clearkote, with service features extending to a freshwater washdown feed to the tower with a shutoff. Underwater protection is recent and robust, with bottom paint applied in December 2025 and an ablative/copolymer anti-fouling bottom system laid over the Interlux Interprotected epoxy primer system, complemented by propeller pockets to reduce draft.

Built on a foundation of custom blended polyester resin in the structural laminates, topsides, bridges, and hardtops, the hull is infused using Baltek end grain balsa and supported by vacuum-bagged composite structural bulkheads. The isophthalic gelcoat hull interior is finished in a custom color, while molded fiberglass salon and galley floors with foam core and fiberglass-encapsulated foam stringers add strength and rigidity. A transducer location is molded into the hull for clean installation and optimal performance.

Systems and fittings are equally meticulous, featuring Awlgrip bronze thru-hulls and sea strainers, fiberglass side thru-hulls, and an Awlgrip-finished engine room, lazarette, forward bilge, and anchor locker. A DuPont high gloss polyurethane boot stripe underscores the waterline, and an aluminum mounting plate laminated into the cockpit deck readies the boat for a fighting chair or table. Storage and utilities are thoughtfully engineered with a fiberglass holding tank offering dockside and overboard pumpout, and infused fiberglass fuel, water, and holding tanks fitted with internal fiberglass baffles and balsa coring on the sides for stiffness. A warm walnut interior finish completes the presentation.

Enclosed flybridge

Ascend the interior staircase from the salon to an enclosed flybridge that blends command-center capability with lounge-like comfort, entered through a weatherproof, lockable door set over a polished stainless steel threshold and finished with a faux-painted aft flybridge door that perfectly matches the interior wood. A wraparound helm console, upholstered in black ultraleather with a glare-reducing visor and easy access to all electronics components, fronts a Stidd helm chair in ultraleather, fully adjustable with footrest, while a custom pod presents single-lever controls and a top-mounted stainless steel steering wheel. A forward control station with all necessary control switches is complemented by a touch screen control monitor delivering audible and visible alarms, and an aft control station in console style provides full engine controls, a radio box for switches, and recessed electronics. The large under-helm area ensures effortless service access and added storage.

Seating is generous and thoughtfully arranged, with Stidd double-wide companion chairs to port, starboard jump seats, an aft-facing jump seat for clear observation of the cockpit, and additional companion seats to port and starboard. An inviting L-shaped lounge with storage pairs with a dewberry-style sofa that opens and closes at the touch of an electric motor; the custom layout features an extended sofa and a repositioned entertainment center to starboard. Rich walnut cabinetry and a walnut cocktail table anchor the space over soft carpet flooring, all crowned by a baby ostrich gelato headliner with upholstered valances and an upholstered overhead wiper box with integrated switches, echoed by a matching baby ostrich headliner treatment elsewhere for a unified aesthetic.

Amenities elevate every moment underway. A clear ice maker is installed to port, aft of the port jump seat, enhanced by an additional filter, and a custom prep sink streamlines service. Entertainment is effortless with a flat screen TV and a twelve volt stereo with CD/DVD player, while a phone outlet keeps you connected and a central vacuum unit simplifies housekeeping. The watermaker control panel is conveniently located on the flybridge.

Climate control is robust and quiet, with air conditioning on the aft bridge deck featuring reverse-cycle heat, precise temperature control, and a dehumidification mode; larger condensation pans under the AC condensers were specified to manage moisture effectively, and defoggers keep sightlines clear. Illumination is versatile and dramatic, combining overhead recessed LED lighting, quartz lights, and tri-color lighting in red, white, and blue, including tri-color lights integrated into the aft overhang, while a freshwater washdown is neatly housed in the radar pod on the hardtop.

The helm environment is designed for clarity and safety, framed by fixed side and aft windows and a laminated, curved safety-glass windshield served by electric wipers with intermittent controls and washers. A hatch above the helm chair promotes airflow, while a second hatch in the overhang with a powder-coated ladder grants secure access to the hardtop. The aft perimeter is finished with a powder-coated aluminum railing and flybridge ladder set on a polished stainless pedestal for enduring shine and strength. For the angler, electric teaser reels—recessed Miya Epoch twenty-four volt US9 units with remotes—stand ready for action.

Cockpit and aft deck

Thoughtfully appointed for both sport and leisure, the cockpit and aft deck showcase a suite of upgrades and comforts that elevate every moment on the water. Under a choice of shade solutions—including a cockpit sunshade, a Costa sunshade with poles, and a Costa cockpit cover—the teak deck in the cockpit (upgrade), teak mezzanine (upgrade), teak aft deck and ladder treads (upgrade), and teak covering boards and combing boards (upgrade) set a warm, refined tone, complemented by a faux teak transom finished with Clearkote. Climate control extends outdoors with air conditioning on the aft salon deck and an air-conditioned backrest for the mezzanine’s aft seat, while plush mezzanine cushions invite effortless relaxation. Entertainment and ambiance abound with a flip-down TV concealed in the aft deck overhang, tri-color lights in the overhang, small LED spreader lights, and tri-color rope lights tucked beneath the coaming. Serious anglers will appreciate Release Marine boltless rod holders and a Release Marine Trillion fighting chair, a transom plumbed as a livewell with a side manifold to fill the box evenly, a refrigerated mezzanine livewell box, and scuppers threaded for an on-deck livewell drain; the transom coaming remains solid with a fish box for added versatility.
