The cockpit presents color‑coordinated vinyls in Mist (Pearl/Grey) with a diamond pattern and accent panels, complemented by grey carpet, and finished fiberglass flooring underfoot. Stainless beverage holders with rubber inserts sit within easy reach, while a snap‑in carpet liner simplifies care. For refreshments, there is a built‑in insulated bow cooler plus a carry‑on cooler with dedicated storage. Access is effortless through an acrylic bow block‑off door and an acrylic and stainless‑steel transom door, with stainless grab handles placed exactly where you need them. An enclosed head compartment features a portable head behind a lockable fiberglass door, a molded liner with non‑slip flooring, a sink and vanity storage with a solid‑surface countertop, a pullout sprayer, a mirror, a light, and an opening portlight.

At the helm, audible engine oil and water alarms stand guard, a compass centers your course, and a soft‑touch dash with a vinyl‑wrapped visor and saddlebag frames the command center. A 6‑inch Digital Dash with a Raymarine a65 chartplotter delivers crisp navigation, while the horn, SmartCraft Diagnostics, and custom Sea Ray SmartCraft instrumentation with glass lenses, low‑glare blue night lighting, and chrome bezels keep critical data front and center. The system tachometer consolidates depth, engine data, alarms/hour meter, oil pressure, water temperature, fuel consumption/usage, trim level, troll control, voltage, and digital speed. SmartCraft Digital Throttle & Shift with trim switch and ignition cutout puts silky control at your fingertips. Power‑assisted tilt steering, a backlit switch panel with weatherproof lighted chrome toggles, and power tilt & trim round out a true captain’s helm. Entertainment is courtesy of a 12V AM/FM stereo with wireless Bluetooth, four Weatherproof Rockford Fosgate speakers, and full iPod/MP3 functionality.
