Storage racks for four rods are mounted overhead in the cabin and it will sleep two people.

The T-top has Rupp Top Gun outriggers, 4 rod holders and the radar dome mounted on top and has a three sided removable enclosure around the console.

The gunnels hold 5 flush mounted rod holders on each side and the cockpit sole houses multiple fish and storage boxes and there are transom live wells along with a transom door. A manually operated Cannon down rigger is mounted in the port side gunnel and there are both fresh and saltwater washdowns.
