Equipment

Power comes from twin Cummins 480CE diesels with a freshwater flush system showing 2164 hours, turning through ZF transmissions for smooth, proven drive. A 12 kW Northern Lights generator with 3191 hours supports hotel loads, while SidePower bow thruster control at three stations and Twin Disc electronic engine controls with sync and trolling valves at three stations—recently upgraded to newer‑style EC300 control heads—deliver confident low‑speed handling and precision maneuvering. Energy management is robust with a 2000‑watt inverter/charger complemented by a Phase Three battery charger as backup and two additional house batteries added for a total of four. The tender package is equally capable: a center‑console Apex 13’ dinghy with a Yamaha 50 hp outboard is launched by a Brower Systems 1,000 lb davit and secured in custom stainless steel dinghy chocks. Running enhancements include Bennett trim tabs, Racor fuel filters with vacuum gauges, PYI dripless shaft seals, and a Fireboy engine room halon system. Comfort is assured by CruiseAir reverse‑cycle AC/heat units and a Raritan water heater, while the sanitation system features two Jabsco electric heads, a holding tank with macerator, and deck pump‑out. Ground tackle is ready with anchor, windlass and chain, and evenings glow courtesy of two underwater lights. Connectivity and entertainment were thoughtfully upgraded with a Wi‑Fi booster, Starlink and Wi‑Fi repeaters integrated with Apple TV, plus a new salon Orb Audio surround‑sound system with subwoofer. Additional refinements include replacement of plastic cockpit hardware with new stainless steel and the installation of underwater lights, all underscoring a ready‑to‑cruise, comprehensively equipped yacht.

Salon

Bathed in natural light from 360‑degree windows, the salon showcases high‑gloss cherry wood with refined cherry ceiling inserts, day/night shades and warm LED lighting to set the tone from sunrise to starlight. An L‑shaped settee to starboard invites relaxation opposite an L‑shaped settee dinette to port, with a 5 cu. ft. chest freezer discreetly beneath the dinette and a dedicated salon wine storage rack close at hand. Practicality meets ingenuity with overhead hidden rod storage and an under‑salon utility room, while an icom radio keeps you connected. Entertainment flows through a 39" Sony flat panel TV with Direct TV and a Sony Blueray player, driven by a Sony receiver and surround sound with speakers, complemented by the newly installed Orb Audio surround‑sound system with subwoofer for cinematic depth. An integrated U‑Line icemaker stands ready for effortless hospitality, and efficient Heat/AC ensures year‑round comfort.

Galley

The aft‑galley layout is a host’s delight, featuring a full‑size refrigerator/freezer, a trash compactor to keep the space tidy, and a versatile microwave/convection oven paired with a sleek three‑burner electric cooktop. Seamlessly connected to the salon and cockpit, it invites effortless service from first coffee to late‑night suppers underway.

Master stateroom

A serene retreat, the master stateroom centers on a queen berth flanked by two large hanging lockers and six large drawers, with a TV at the ready and an en suite head with stall shower for complete privacy. Speakers with dedicated volume control extend the ambiance, and efficient Heat/AC ensures the perfect climate in every season.

Guest stateroom

Designed for flexibility, the guest stateroom offers an upper single fold‑away and a lower double berth, two hanging lockers, and an en suite head with stall shower, delivering thoughtful comfort for family or friends. Independent Heat/AC keeps guests refreshed and relaxed after a day on the water.

Flybridge / electronics

The flybridge is purpose‑built for command and camaraderie with a forward helm station, an aft tournament station, and a circular settee that converts to a berth. A hardtop shelters two forward Stidd helm seats within a 360‑degree enclosure, while a sink, carpet, chart table and Norcold refer elevate practicality. All flybridge upholstery has been recently redone to a fresh, modern standard. Newly installed Garmin electronics with a new Garmin open‑array radar headline a comprehensive suite, including two Garmin 8616 MFD displays, one Garmin 8612 MFD display, and a Garmin GMR 424 xHD2 radar, 4 kW with 4 ft array. Navigation and fish‑finding tools include a Simrad AP22 autopilot at two stations, Simrad Direction Finder TD‑L1550A, Furuno side‑scan Sonar CH‑250, and a SiTex seawater temperature SST‑110, complemented by AIS, an Icom IC‑M502 VHF radio, a Ritchie compass and Shakespear VHF antennas. Fiberglass outriggers stand ready for the bite, and a new Fusion stereo system with amp, speakers and subwoofer energizes both flybridge and cockpit.

Cockpit / deck

The cockpit is engineered for action and easy cleanup with two fish boxes, stainless steel rocket launchers, and flush‑mounted stainless steel rod holders, joined by dual in‑transom bait tanks and a folding bait‑tank table that keeps rigs and baits organized. Brilliant 10V halogen flood lights illuminate the spread, while a cockpit hot/cold shower and fresh and salt washdowns at cockpit and bow simplify end‑of‑day routines. Cockpit engine controls with thruster control bring the boat neatly to the dock, and a tackle center with many drawers and a tall locker swallows gear with ease. Long‑range independence comes from a new 800 GPD Bluewater watermaker, complemented by a Furuno Navnet display in the cockpit for quick data at hand. Teak cockpit decks impart timeless elegance, with cockpit side lockers adding valuable storage. Shore‑side transitions are streamlined by a Glendinning shorepower retrieval system, and thoughtful fishing touches include mackerel tubes at bow and stern. Ground tackle is fronted by a stainless steel anchor, while a Fusion controller and speaker extend entertainment to the aft deck.
