Equipment

Power comes from twin Cummins QSB-480 common-rail diesels mated to Zeus pod drives, delivering precise control enhanced by two complete Zeus helm stations with joysticks, autopilot, and auto trim located forward and aft on the flybridge, plus an additional cockpit joystick and the renowned Zeus SkyHook position-holding feature. Ship’s power and comfort systems include a 9 kW Onan generator in a soundshield showing 1476 hours, a Xantrex MS2000 inverter/battery charger with battery combiners, and four 8D batteries—two for the house bank and two for the start bank (new 2024). Climate and domestic amenities are equally robust, with a reverse-cycle air conditioning and heat unit (new 2025), a Raritan water heater, a water purifier, Jabsco electric heads with macerator pump and holding tank, and 12 V fresh-water pumps. Engine-room and fuel systems are protected and polished by Racor fuel filters and a Fire Boy engine-room halon system. Ground tackle and safety equipment are comprehensive, featuring a windlass with anchor, four automatic bilge pumps with float switches, a saltwater washdown pump, a high-water alarm, and an 800 GPD Village Marine watermaker to extend your autonomy far from shore.

Salon

The salon invites with 360-degree windows that flood the space with light, complemented by a hidden overhead rod locker that keeps gear neatly stowed and ready. To starboard, a large convertible dinette welcomes gatherings and easily transforms for additional sleeping, while to port a single barrel chair pairs with built-in storage cabinets for tidy organization. Entertainment is at hand with a 32-inch flat-panel TV, and beneath the salon a large utility room expands your capacity for provisions and spares, all framed by a gorgeous cherry interior with Madrona burl inlays that exude timeless refinement.

Galley

A thoughtfully arranged aft galley serves as the social heart of the main deck, centered around a refrigerator/freezer, a Princess electric cooktop, and a Sharp microwave/convection oven that make mealtimes effortless. The U-Line icemaker keeps refreshments perfectly chilled, while the cherry and holly galley sole underscores the yacht’s craftsmanship with warm contrast and classic yacht style.

Staterooms

The forward master stateroom features a queen berth and private access to the head with a stall shower, complemented by an overhead hatch, portholes, two large hanging lockers, ample drawers, and a flat-panel TV for relaxed retreats. The midship starboard guest stateroom offers a clever lower double berth and an upper flip-down single berth, with a hanging locker and drawers to keep personal effects neatly organized.

Cockpit / deck

The cockpit is purpose-built, with a teak deck underfoot and the rare luxury of a cockpit day head with shower, plus easy stairs leading up to the flybridge. Anglers will appreciate the dual in-transom bait tanks, a dedicated tackle center, stainless steel rocket launchers, and flush-mounted stainless steel rod holders, while the swim platform with U rails and a transom door simplify water access. Forward, a bow pulpit with rails and both fresh- and saltwater washdowns at the bow and in the cockpit support clean, efficient operations, and an 800 lb davit teams with the Avon Seasport 360 inflatable tender to extend your reach ashore and on remote anchorages. A hot/cold transom shower completes the thoughtful deck amenities.

Flybridge

The flybridge is sheltered by a factory-molded hardtop and encircled by a new 360-degree polycarbonate enclosure, creating an all-weather command and social space. Two Stidd helm seats face a well-laid helm, while a circular settee with table converts to a comfortable berth; a chart table and refrigerator round out the comforts. A ladder leads from the flybridge up to the marlin tower with full controls, offering elevated visibility when conditions call for it.

Electronics

Navigation and awareness are anchored by three Garmin 8000 Series GPSMAP touchscreen multifunction displays on the flybridge and a matching Garmin 8000 Series GPSMAP touchscreen display in the cockpit, with AIS integration and a FLIR night vision camera adding confidence after dark. The cockpit station mirrors critical plotter, radar, and sonar functions, while communications are handled by a Uniden ES UM625c VHF and an Icom IC‑M24G GPS VHF to keep you clearly connected offshore and inshore alike.
