Instrumentation is straightforward and easy to read, complemented by a compass to enhance navigation. A cleverly concealed head compartment is located behind the front dash. Forward, the bow rider offers wraparound seating with chaise lounges on each side, all featuring storage beneath the cushions. A removable table can be installed to convert the bow area into a dining space suitable for lunch or cocktails.
