Boarding the vessel is easiest by stepping onto the very large swim platform which is quite low to the water. I expect it is a perfect place for lounging after swimming and an easy place to deploy your kayak or paddleboards. A fisherman might find this a good place to cast their lines. At night the boat is highlighted by the “Lumishore” underwater lights to call people to your party or create a beautiful, welcoming scene. There is a double transom gate to the cockpit which is also a nice private deck space for the master stateroom. The stateroom may be accessed via a large water tight door. There is also a hot/cold freshwater shower in the cockpit area.

To port are molded steps leading to the expansive sundeck. The sundeck and flybridge are covered with a hardtop and completely enclosed with canvas and isinglass. The sundeck has a custom-fit snap-down carpet. A large settee, with storage, faces forward. A wet bar with icemaker and storage are to starboard and a cabinet above holds a TV to watch games or a movie with a crowd, and extra glass and barware. Acrylic wing doors open to the port and starboard side decks which lead to the bow; easy to deploy fenders or the anchor. A wide sun pad invites you to enjoy the sunshine, relax and read a book.

Molded steps lead to the flybridge and helm station from the sundeck. Guests and the captain will be comfortable with a settee to starboard, two centerline side-by-side captain’s chairs and a bar/buffet area to port. The helm station is complete with Raymarine E80 MFD, Sidepower Bow and Stern thruster controls (plus a remote to aid in docking), Simrad Autopilot, Engine controls and gauges, Lectrotab trim tab controls, compass and stereo.

The owner purchased this boat after it sustained smoke damage caused by an unattended candle starting a curtain in the salon on fire. The owner reports that it did not affect any wiring, navigational equipment or mechanical systems. The smoke damage did require extensive cleaning of the cherry cabinetry, replacing and recovering the interior wall and ceiling coverings, the leather dinette settee and bolsters, and a few other soft goods. To my eye this restoration work appears flawless. The owner has operated the boat since completing the remodel and reports that the boat performs to full expectation.

The companionway from the sundeck enters the main full beam salon area. The windows, high ceilings and full beam areas give this boat a very expansive feeling. The salon and galley interiors are completely new and beautifully appointed with cream and butterscotch tones. The cherry wood cabinets and fixtures are good quality furnishings throughout the boat. They have all been cleaned and refinished as well; the interior is quite beautiful and feels new.

Heating and cooling is provided by a three-zone system by Marine Air Systems, 12,000BTUs each. A convenient central vacuum system is the answer to not taking up valuable storage with a traditional vacuum.

Currently there are barrel chairs on either side of the salon area. It is easy to imagine a sleeper sofa to one side as well which would create an additional sleeping area. There are four brand new TV’s onboard: sundeck, salon, aft cabin and forward stateroom. The stereo system has speakers throughout the boat as well. The windows are tinted and shaped in a way that gives a sense of privacy inside but allows light into the spaces. There doesn’t seem a need for blinds or curtains as I find it difficult to see in to the cabin area when standing on the dock. New pulsating, color changing LED rope lights add a fun party atmosphere to the boat; they may also be steady for added color or light.

Access to the engine compartment is via the salon sole. There is quite a bit of room to work on the engines and the generator. It is clean and well organized.

Moving forward and down a few steps is the galley and dinette area. The dinette easily seats four people. The galley includes a NovaKool refrigerator and freezer, flat surface two-burner electric stove, stainless sink, built-in coffee maker and microwave. Overhead lighting as well as the large cabin windows and very high ceiling give this area a very spacious feeling. A separate head with private entrance to the forward stateroom is starboard. The forward stateroom has a full side-to-side v-berth with storage below. A separate shower is situated on the port side.

The aft cabin is down a few steps from the salon and is full beam as well. The queen pedestal bed lies athwartship with hanging lockers and storage cabinets to the sides and above the bed. The ensuite head includes a separate standing shower, toilet, sink and storage. There is also a vanity table in the stateroom with a mirror, electrical outlets and storage. A very large window provides light and a view of the cockpit and swim step. A private door leads to the cockpit where you might imagine a relaxing glass of wine or early morning cup of coffee.

This boat truly seems much larger than its nominal length and I can imagine you could entertain quite a crowd in style!
