Cockpit: The 7 foot cockpit is big enough for "Al Fresco" dining or serious water sports activities. There is a large molded-in dive platform accessed via a walk-through transom door. A stainless steel ladder leads up from the cockpit to the  flybridge/boat deck, and steps leading forward on both sides to the wide, well protected, side-decks. An opening hatch, leading down to a stairwell, allows access to the stand-up engine room, and aft is a separate hatch for the huge lazarette. Double doors lead forward to the salon. There is a backing station concealed in a pop-up, as well as cabinet storage and a stainless lined cabinet for a grill. Hot and cold shower, dive ladder.

The entertainment center includes a TV, AM/FM/CD stereo with 10-disc changer. There are large windows with custom blinds, fitted vinyl headliners with flush-mounted halogen lighting, and a U-Line undercounter refrigerator and a chest freezer. The double doors open aft, and visibility forward is excellent creating a good visual flow from transom to pilothouse.


Forward of the salon and up three steps enter the pilothouse and galley level. To starboard is the curved, hand crafted oak stairway to the flybridge.


Galley: The galley is opposite the dinette and on the same level as the pilothouse.

Flybridge: The Bridge features a full helm station beneath a large Bimini top (New 2019), two pedestal mounted helm chairs and two L-Shaped settees with seating for eight. Aft of the settees is the boat deck with low profile crane.


The Dinette is on the starboard side with a Corian-topped table and L-Shaped settee for four, plus storage for plates and glassware housed within. Additional storage for dry goods is located under the bench seats of the settee.

Superb fit and finish are evident in all of the wood cabinetry, chests of drawers, cedar-lined closet and hanging locker. A stacked Westinghouse washer and dryer are housed inside a closet forward in the master stateroom.


The VIP Guest Stateroom is all the way forward from the master and features a queen-size berth on center-line. This comfortable stateroom has the factory optional mirrored oak storage cabinets built in overhead on both port and starboard sides. A chest of drawers, cedar lined hanging locker and storage for suitcases is provided in lockers beneath the berth. Two opening overhead hatches provide bright natural lighting by day or a direct view of the stars at night. Two brass reading lamps are mounted to the headboard.
