The luxe cockpit and helm deck feature great socializing and seating for 8 - 9, a motorized sunroof, Air Conditioning, a newer enclosure, and beautiful appointments (wet bar, fridge, more). Down below, there is abundant natural light, an aft full-beam stateroom, and a luxurious primary forward with a centerline pedestal berth. Where this vessel truly shines, literally, is in her mechanical spaces and equipment: New DHP drives ($38K)! Not only that, the engine room has been rearranged to ease access and maintenance tasks. All seals, O-rings, heat exchangers, pumps, belts - everything - is either new or refreshed, and this owner has the receipts and impressive 'in-process' photos to prove it. The engine room and drives look like a three month old boat from a fresh-water lake! Over $70K invested in the last 3 years.
