Cockpit:

A tournament-bred cockpit conceived for action and comfort, it showcases a sculpted mezzanine with teak underfoot and teak on the coamings, shaded by a cockpit sunshade set on sleek carbon fiber poles and protected with a Costa cockpit cover when you button her up. Step down to transom swim steps and a transom coaming with gate and an insulated fish box, complemented by a transom livewell fitted with tricolor lighting in red, white and blue and a transom box with a glass window and lights for instant visibility. Serious anglers will appreciate a crushed ice machine discharging into the starboard mezzanine box, a livewell in the sole, a cockpit freezer with bait trays, a refrigerated step box, dividers in the salon stepbox, storage lockers beneath the port and starboard coamings, and a split lid for the cockpit fish box for fast access. Three rod holders in each haunch—six in total—stand ready, while DC lights in the Release Marine Trillion Series fighting chair illuminate the business end after dark, and an Armstrong ladder is on hand for swift, secure water access. Even in the heat of the bite, the Cruisair “Cool Breeze” Mezzanine Air System washes the seating with chilled air, while tricolor lights on the aft deck and tricolor rope lights under the coamings set the mood. Entertainment comes courtesy of a flip-down TV in the cockpit, and shore management is effortless with two Cablemaster units. Every detail, from the teak craftsmanship to the purposeful hardware, elevates this cockpit from capable to captivating.

Hull & deck

Power, poise, and precise detailing define the hull and deck, beginning with a hydraulic bow thruster and a Maxwell RC 12-12 hydraulic windlass with gypsy and drum, fed by 300 inch of line with 12' of chain and a shackle, all concealed with the windlass mounted below deck and serviced via a bow anchor locker complete with fresh water washdown and an anchor bracket. The bow rail is ABYC compliant, the cleats are positioned fore and aft, and a fender track runs from the transom to the forward spring cleat for secure protection alongside. The salon forward window wears a refined mask, the house gains an extended handrail, and hanging lights under the bridge illuminate the perimeter all around the house. Finished in gelcoat Stars & Stripes with a Viking Blue (dark blue) bottom paint and a boot stripe layout in multiple colors and stripes, the profile is both classic and unmistakable. A Seakeeper Gyro 36 calms the sea’s moods, while the faux teak toe rail, tent clear, and scaffolding elevate the finish with custom flair. With a total of four fuel tanks, range and flexibility are built in for long passages and hard-charging days offshore.

Flybridge

Command comes naturally from a flybridge engineered for clarity and control, centered on a Release Marine teak helm pod with an electronic single‑lever control for the helm pod and a handrail on the side of the helm console above the access door. Recessed electronics boxes, clamshells for electronics, radio boxes with split lids, and a power‑actuated switch for the electronic drop‑down overhead box in the hardtop keep the bridge clean and ready. Navigation is anchored by a compass on the electronics box, and visibility is enhanced by a single radar mast with tricolor lights in red, white and blue on the mast and LED floodlights in the hardtop. Comfort reigns with helm air conditioning—vents even feed the sunpad—and there’s a hatch over the bridge ladder opening, hinged inboard, for safe movement. Entertain and provision with a bridge freezer box, a refrigerated bridge drink box with dividers, a small table in front of the lounge seat, and freshwater outlet on the bridge. Practicality includes dedicated batteries for electronics, a watermaker control panel, a mast on the PBT radar pod, teak on the step at the helm with a widened step, and a removable flybridge jumpseat backrest with Release Marine ladder backs and Release Marine Trillion Series chairs. The radar mast, single and purposeful, crowns a bridge that’s as functional as it is refined.

PBT

The custom‑molded hardtop forms a high‑performance PBT platform with eight LED lights in the hardtop and a large oval radar pod—rendered in carbon fiber—with a larger sliding teaser reel door and a 20'' RDS LED light bar. Security and fishability are enhanced by a three‑sided, double‑aft bridge rail leg‑to‑leg with a lower safety rail welded to the aft bridge rail, eight rod holders polished and welded to the rail, and a U‑shaped rail around the ladder opening. Molded navigation lights for port, starboard, and stern integrate seamlessly, complemented by a masthead LED rated to five miles serving as the anchor light on the hardtop and forward air vents for flow. Outrigging is next‑level with Rupp outriggers, 48' Rupp Outriggers “Bigg Riggs HD” 48', a Rupp center rigger HD series with mount, four spreader bridge Release heavy aft bar, and the Rupp multi‑action hydraulic outrigger system that can lay‑out and lay‑aft with auto locks, plus a dedicated Rupp hydraulic outrigger system for robust control. Two molded SAT dome mounts anticipate comms, Rupp halyard grommets are mounted in the cockpit gunnels, and a power‑actuated drop‑down overhead electronics box keeps controls at your fingertips. A molded wedge forward on the hardtop stands ready to mount the FLIR camera, completing a PBT package designed for serious pursuits.

Ame electronics

An AME electronics suite delivers total command: a Garmin 2526 xHD2 25 kW radar with a 6' array pairs with a Garmin GPSMAP 8622 22'' MFD, while two additional Garmin GPSMAP 8622 22'' MFDs and a Garmin remote input GRID 20 Vertical form the plotting core. In the overhead, a Garmin GPSMAP 8612 TS MFD (preloaded with coastal charts) lives in the drop‑down box, with another Garmin GPSMAP 8612 TS MFD (preloaded with coastal charts) in the teaser reel box for continuous visibility. The sounder is tournament‑grade via a Garmin GSD‑26 CHIRP video sounder module and an Airmar PM411C‑LWM ultra wide beam (tournament series L40‑60 kHz/M80‑130 kHz). Digital depth and temperature data stream through a Furuno RD33 data organizer display with Airmar DT820BV‑235‑N2 and Airmar ST850 speed and temperature transducers, while the Garmin Reactor 40 STD Corepack (steer‑by‑wire) handles autopilot duties. VHF comms stack the deck with two Icom IC‑M605 Blk VHF radios, an Icom MB75 VHF flush mount F/502,602,802, a Comrod AV90/2BI 16' VHF antenna, a 3/4'' antenna standoff pipe, and a Poly‑Planar external VHF speaker. Entertainment and audio are premium with a Fusion stereo MS‑RA770 Apollo Series touchscreen with Apple AirPlay, Fusion MS‑ACSXV Sirius/XM tuner, Shakespeare SRA‑50 Sirius antenna, a JL Audio M400/4 100 W amplifier, and JL M6 Marine 8.8'' white coax speakers on the bridge forward and aft. At the helm, a Carling USB outlet and a concealed 110 V AC outlet keep devices powered. SatCom is assured by KVH TracPhone V3‑HTS (white base, mounted on the hardtop forward of the mast), a VTech three‑handset answering system with caller ID, a CyberPower mini‑tower UPS (750 VA), and a Wheelock UTA‑1 telephone ringer. A Seatronx MPC3600 i7 marine computer running Nobeltec TZ Professional TZ‑108 with the Nobeltec TZ Touch S63 Module TZ‑110, paired to a Lenovo 2.4 GHz Pro keyboard/mouse and a Seatronx 50 mm трёхкнопочный трекбол (ball and faceplate — black), powers advanced navigation and data. Cameras include a Gost wide‑angle 1080p Mini‑Ball, three engine room cameras, and one salon camera. Thermal imaging is led by the FLIR M364C color thermal camera system with an FLIR M300 Series JCUI control unit and a custom FLIR 364 hardtop mount. SAT‑TV arrives via KVH TracVision UHD7, with KVH DirecTV HR24 HD/DVR DSS receivers for the salon and MSR and KVH DirecTV H25 HD DSS receivers for the staterooms and the cockpit flip‑down TV, all safeguarded by a CyberPower mini‑tower UPS (750 VA). The salon gains an Apple TV5 64 Gb digital media receiver, staterooms are equipped with four URC WiFi Remote Control TRC‑1080 units, and in the cockpit a Fusion Apollo ERX400 wired remote, a JL Audio M400/4 amplifier, two JL M6 Marine 7.7'' white coax speakers, two James Loudspeaker 42UE/OW 4'' two‑way speakers under the gunwale, and a Garmin GPSMAP 8617 17'' MFD bring the show to the action.

An electric salon door glides open to Amtico flooring at the entry, blinds in Poseidon Dove with filtered light set the tone, and a day head stands discreetly at the ready. The aft side of the galley island is richly wrapped in wood, there’s a clear icemaker for constant refreshment, and a washer and dryer are thoughtfully tucked in the pantry to keep the cruising rhythm uninterrupted.

Purpose‑built for gourmet cruising, the galley presents undercounter refrigerator and freezer drawers with an additional undercounter refrigerator in matching drawers, a stainless steel sink, a dishwasher, and a four‑burner surface‑mount range recessed into the surface‑mount cooktop for a flush, modern look. Amtico flooring underlines durability, a generous galley overhang invites company, the open custom layout adds a return for two additional stools, and a dedicated dinette platform ensures easy flow between spaces. Overhead LED lights are on a dimmer for mood, and a conveniently placed 110 V outlet sits next to the switch on the bottom of the upper cabinet above the sink.

A curated decor program surrounds you in warmth and polish: walnut interior wood sets the tone, complemented by prestige decor elements and chrome interior hardware throughout, including chrome Vimar cover plates and brushed nickel alternatives for receptacles and switches, plus chrome interior light trim and square chrome light trim for a cohesive gleam. Interior doors are flat‑panel with inlay—horizontal natural walnut with ebony—while the custom wallpaper material and custom headliner material flow throughout the boat. The salon gains decorated bar stools with backs—barstools with back appear again at the galley—an upgraded sofa style with no storage, loose seat cushions, and top‑stitch detailing, along with windowpane cushions and wrapped hatch carpet. Crown molding extends to all staterooms, wood strips accent MSR wall panels and the companionway, and the same interior door and drawer button catches unify the experience.

Exterior upholstery is tailored to the elements, and upholstery selections include helm and companion chairs in Ultra Leather Coast Bungalow, bridge cushions in Ultra Leather Coast Bungalow, mezzanine cushions with neck/knee support in Ultra Leather Coast Bungalow with backseat inserts, drink bolsters to match, and a forward sunpad in Ultra Leather Coast Bungalow.

The heart of performance beats here with two Kohler 32 kW generators and two MTU Series 2000‑V16 M96L engines at 2635 hp each, supported by dual power steering pumps and fuel priming pumps (24 V) for instant response. Systems are designed for resilience: a Headhunter freshwater pump teams with a Headhunter head system; a backup pump for the seawater system is plumbed in parallel; and water quality and independence are assured by a Dometic XZ 3000/2200 watermaker/Spot Zero combo and an ElectroSea system. A Seakeeper 36 stabilizer calms motion at the source, a sonar tube prepares for future tech, and practical service items—from a five‑drawer 16''‑wide white‑painted toolbox to a tee in the dockside water manifold allowing you to fill the freshwater tank from the cockpit and a deck fill for the freshwater tank—make life onboard seamless. This machinery space is meticulously organized, ventilated, and ready to go the distance.
