Flybridge

Command from the forward and aft driving stations on the expansive flybridge, where a large convertible dinette invites guests to settle in for the run. Precision maneuvering is effortless with the bow thruster, while comprehensive Furuno electronics put the bite on screen: twin Furuno NavNet 2 VX2 C-MAP NT MAX displays with integrated NavNet 2 chart plotter, a classic Furuno green-screen radar, and a Furuno CH250 side-scan sonar. Long passages are simplified by the Robertson AP20 autopilot, with sea-surface temperature via the SiTex SST-110 and clear comms on the Standard Horizon MATRIX VHF radio.

Equipment

Thoughtful systems elevate life aboard: two electric macerator heads and four electric bilge pumps on float switches are complemented by a manual bilge pump for redundancy. Climate control comes via reverse-cycle marine air with a 16,000 BTU unit and a 24,000 BTU unit, while precise handling benefits from an electric SidePower bow thruster. Daily comfort is supported by a 20 gallon hot water heater, a Splendide washer/dryer combo, and a seawater pump. Power management includes a battery charger and a Heart Interface inverter/charger system. Throughout, rich teak cabinetry and joinery create a warm ambiance, and the salon serves seamlessly with a Uline refrigerator and matching Uline icemaker.

Galley

Culinary readiness is assured with a full-size Frigidaire refrigerator/freezer and a Princess electric 3-burner cooktop with oven, complemented by a trash compactor and an Oster microwave. A double-bowl galley sink and a UV water filtration system make preparation and cleanup effortless, whether provisioning for a weekend or an extended run.

Exterior and mechanical

Mechanical reliability and deck readiness stand out: twin 12.5KW Northern Lights generators deliver robust ship’s power, while cockpit controls with bow thruster control and a convenient cockpit dayhead keep operations smooth and guests comfortable. Hynautic steering and a Halon automatic fire suppression system underscore safe running, supported by Racor fuel filters, a 12V freshwater pump, an engine fuel manifold system, and a holding-tank macerator pump. Fishability is dialed in with a 12V bait-pump system feeding two in-transom molded bait tanks, stainless steel rocket-launcher rod holders, and two in-deck fishholds, plus fresh- and saltwater washdowns in both the cockpit and the anchor locker. On deck, a Muir anchor windlass and a Brower 1000# davit simplify anchoring and tender handling.
