Standard features

Designed on a seaworthy Deep-V hull and carrying a dry weight of 5,600 lbs, this center console is powered by twin Yamaha 250 HP gasoline outboards, both 2018 models turning 3-blade propellers and showing 320 hours each, delivering confident performance and refined control. A 215-gallon built-in fuel tank supplies extended range, while an 18-gallon fresh water tank with pump supports comfort on board. Offshore-minded fishability is assured with two aft livewells—each illuminated by LED livewell lights and including a high-speed pick-up—plus a large fish box in the bow and an additional macerated fish box with overboard drain. Two Revolution RUPP outriggers expand your spread offshore, complemented by recessed horizontal gunwale rod racks and rod holders throughout. Thoughtful deck engineering includes a self-bailing cockpit, all storage boxes draining overboard, stainless steel through-hull fittings with grounding straps and zinc, and a three-step folding ladder that stows flush in the stern.

At the helm, a fully integrated Garmin suite features a GPSMAP XSV plotter, Garmin radar, Garmin autopilot, and Garmin VHF, with clarity and command enhanced by an Edson stainless steel steering wheel with knob and Yamaha’s Command Link Plus gauge. Steering is effortless thanks to Sea Star hydraulic tilt steering and Sea Star power-assist steering with a tilt helm, while Lenco trim tabs with indicators and auto-retract keep the ride dialed in. Entertainment and ambiance come courtesy of a Fusion stereo MS-NRX300, courtesy lights, LED hardtop lighting, and spreader lights. Power needs are simplified by a battery charger and a dedicated battery monitor system, and the dash integrates a 12-volt power outlet alongside an electric horn and a precise compass.

Comfort and finish are elevated everywhere you look: a hardtop with speakers arrives outrigger-ready on a powder-coated frame; bow seating with cushions and folding backrests invites relaxation; a molded-in forward console seat provides folding armrests and an insulated cooler beneath with overboard drain; and the bow compartments are insulated for use as cooler space or dry storage. The cockpit is ringed with bolsters throughout, augmented by additional cockpit bolsters where you work the lines, and a flush-folding rear bench seat deploys for extra guests. A recessed low-profile bow rail, stainless steel hardware throughout, and a stainless steel rub rail insert enhance both appearance and durability. Six 10-inch pull-up cleats, a windlass paired to a stainless steel bow pulpit roller, and recessed horizontal gunwale rod racks underscore a deck plan designed for action and ease. Service access is straightforward via a bilge access door and a head-mounted pump box granting quick access to pumps. Below the console, a porcelain electric toilet with holding tank offers true convenience. Everywhere you open a hatch, gas-shock-assisted lids await—matching the boat-wide theme of gas shock assists on all storage lids—while a high-pressure raw-water washdown stands ready to reset the deck after the bite. Construction priorities are equally uncompromising, with a foam-injected fiberglass stringer system, no-wood/no-rot construction, and a ten year hull warranty underscoring long-term confidence.
