Overview

Meticulously updated and poised to impress, this vessel shows 2,200 hours on the main engines since major overhaul and wears a fresh total paint job completed at Merritt’s in October 2024. All varnish was stripped and built back up in 2024, and the front mask was completely ground down, re‑glassed, and painted that same year. Systems have been thoughtfully renewed with a new A/C chiller and air handlers, new raw water and circulation pumps, a new Electro Sea system, new cockpit and galley refrigeration compressors, and a new Eskimo ice machine—all in 2024. Performance and ride are enhanced by new Veem Interceptor wheels fitted in 2022. Comfort and connectivity step forward again in 2026 with new Whisper Wall and headliners throughout the boat, a new 20‑gallon hot water heater, new TVs and an AV system, new Starlink, and a BRNKL security and monitoring system.

On the bridge, a varnished teak console with single lever controls faces three Blue Water helm chairs, with additional seating offering storage beneath. An EZ2CY bridge enclosure, lights in the underside of the hardtop, and a freshwater washdown elevate daily operation, while a bilge pump and high‑water alarm panel are cleanly integrated into the console. Navigation and situational awareness are first class with Furuno 25 KW radar, a Simrad autopilot, a Garmin CHIRP echo sounder, a Garmin 8622 paired with two Garmin 8617 displays, a FLIR night vision camera, an ACR spotlight, a gyro compass, and two Icom VHF radios. Fishing readiness is further amplified by two Miya‑Epoch US‑9 teaser reels in the overhead and six Garmin cameras covering the engine room, salon, and tower.

The tower mirrors the bridge’s purposeful specification with single lever controls, fore and aft spreader lights under the tower floor, a Garmin 8612, a Simrad autopilot head, a gyro compass, an Icom VHF, a freshwater washdown hose, and the signature note of a Kahlenberg horn.

Purpose‑built for tournament action, the cockpit presents mezzanine seating over teak decks and covering boards, a walk‑through tuna door with ladder, and an Eskimo ice machine in the lazaret plumbed to the fish box, all accessed via a dedicated lazaret hatch. Live bait is king with two in‑deck wells plumbed through the bottom, while gaff and mop lockers ride neatly under the gunwales and a freshwater washdown stands at the ready. Cold storage is expansive with two Merritt freezers under the mezzanine seating and three Merritt refrigerated boxes in the mezzanine deck, complemented by an insulated drink box and smart tackle storage. Anglers will appreciate electric reel outlets—two 12V—plus a rocket launcher with rod holders and a prep area with two drink holders, an offset stanchion for a fighting chair, and convenient engine room access in the mezzanine. The spread is supported by six rod holders in the covering boards, a Jack Hopewell tuna tower with three rod‑holder steps in both legs, 36‑foot Rupp triple spreader outriggers with a Rupp center rigger, and two Miya‑Epoch US‑9 electric teaser reels in the bridge overhead, with lights and speakers set into the cockpit overhead to complete the scene.

Electrical systems are robust and reassuring, centered on two Phasor generators showing 2,070 hours port and 2,029 hours starboard, delivering an output of 27 KW. Shore power comes via two 50 Amp, single phase, 240 Volt, 60 Hz connections. Power storage and distribution include six maintenance‑free batteries with main engine, generator starting, and general service each supported by two 24 Volt banks, all maintained by a Charles battery charger.

Mechanically, reliability is underwritten by a Watermakers Inc. WMS 1500 water maker and two Headhunter Mach 5 freshwater pumps added in 2026, a Merritt oil change system with reservoir tank, Racor fuel filtration for both main engines and generators, a Jabsco 24V blackwater pump, a JunnAir air compressor, and a fuel transfer pump. Hot water is provided by an Atlantic Marine twenty‑gallon hot water heater, steering by a Hynautic system, and attitude by Bennett trim tabs; dripless shaft seals and an engine room freshwater washdown speak to ease of ownership. Port and starboard cockpit refrigeration/freezer compressors were renewed in 2024, five underwater lights add evening allure, and safety is anchored by a Halon automatic fire extinguishing system.

On the foredeck, ground tackle is handled by a Muir 24V windlass with bridge remote, feeding a 50‑foot galvanized chain and 300 feet of 3/4‑inch nylon rope to an 80‑pound Suncor stainless steel anchor.

Entering through an electric sliding door set in a teak bulkhead from the cockpit, the salon welcomes with a portside wrap beige leather sofa and a teak coffee table; the sofa cushions hinge to reveal generous storage beneath, and custom window blinds temper the light. To starboard forward, a dinette with a granite‑topped table seats four, with additional storage under the seating. The port‑forward galley features under‑counter appliances and granite countertops, a stainless steel double sink with disposal unit, a Merritt custom side‑by‑side freezer and refrigerator under the forward counter, and a Gaggenau four‑burner range with a hinged granite lid beneath the aft countertop. Thoughtful storage abounds with slide‑out drawers, a pots‑and‑pans cabinet, and teak‑paneled forward cabinets with more slide‑out drawers. Cooking convenience is assured with a Miele microwave/convection oven and a KitchenAid under‑counter ice maker, while teak flooring elegantly unifies the galley area and the space beneath the dinette.

A companionway of four stairs with a teak handrail leads forward to three staterooms and three heads, and a laundry center with a stack unit sits smartly in the companionway forward of the crew quarters.

The forward master stateroom centers on a queen‑sized berth, flanked to starboard by two hanging lockers and a six‑drawer vanity, and finished with large hinged mirrored cabinets. Its ensuite head and shower present a granite countertop, a large shower with glass doors trimmed in stainless, and teak flooring for a warm, nautical touch.

The VIP stateroom, located to port aft, offers a double berth with an upper single berth, storage drawers and an additional storage area under the berth, and a large hanging locker forward. Private access leads to the head and shower with a granite countertop, a large shower, and teak flooring.

Crew quarters to starboard aft provide over/under single berths with reading lights and a hanging locker with two storage drawers underneath.

Exclusions include owners’ personal items, fishing tackle, and tools.
