Dynamic control comes courtesy of newly fitted Humphree trim tabs, and fuel burn and range are optimized with a Maretron fuel monitoring system added the same year. The Phasor generator received key component updates in 2024, including a new exhaust manifold, heat exchanger, and raw water pump, with total generator hours at 3,180, supporting shipwide systems. Fishability received serious attention with a chiller plate added to the fish box, a rebuilt ice maker for steady production, Starlink for seamless connectivity offshore, and tuna tubes with dedicated pumps feeding the transom livewell to keep baits lively on long runs.

Further refinements in 2025 elevate onboard comfort and function with two new smart TVs, discreet rod and reel storage thoughtfully designed beneath the starboard berth, fresh batteries, and a new 12V battery charger. Engine room fans were replaced and upgraded to 24V for improved airflow and efficiency, and the Seakeeper units underwent their annual service with warranty items addressed. Running gear precision was maintained with a new cutless bearing fitted on the port aft strut, and the port rigger received a new base tube, center tube, base mount, and collars for dependable spread deployment. The watermaker gained renewed accuracy via replacement TDS sensors, while the signature fighting chair was refinished to showroom sheen, and the cockpit speakers were replaced for crisp audio on deck.

In 2026, the watermaker saw new membranes and a quality valve to ensure optimal production, the shower and air-conditioning condensate drain sump pump was replaced for dry, quiet operation, and a new front hatch improved ventilation and natural light. Electronics were kept current with a new Garmin radar base, and the head system reliability was enhanced with a new vacuum tank pressure switch.
