"Dolphin" is a terrific example of a boat that was built to the highest level in terms of craftsmanship, design, and design execution. There are so many clever ideas built into this boat it will amaze those fortunate enough to spend time aboard. Ed Dettling, the builder and driving force behind the Dettling brand built boats that powerboaters, and sail-boaters alike would appreciate. Not only is the quality good, the hull design by Hunt outstanding, but the countless number of details make this boat perfect for short and long term cruising by a couple or two couples. To build this boat today a boat builder would have to charge an astronomical amount.
The boat's classic lines look great but are also very functional. The main salon, for example, features huge, fixed windows that let wonderful light into the main living area. The galley is connected to the main salon and it extremely functional with outstanding freezer and refrigerator space, outstanding storage, and clever elements like a trash drop directly into the trash can from counter level.
Forward of the galley is the full beam master stateroom with a double berth athwartship. Storage is plentiful throughout. Attached to the master stateroom and forward is the master head with separate stall show and plenty of storage.
Aft of the main salon is the guest cabin with attached head and shower. There is a full-sized washing machine and dryer in the head. The berth is a double berth. Again, there is outstanding storage in this space.
Aft of the main salon and up a slightly curved steps are the pilothouse/helm station. The sense of control provided by great visibility is instantly felt when sitting at the helm bench seat. A clever design element is implemented in the pilothouse for those who like to drive outside, but don't want a full flybridge. The area inboard of the helm station is designed to be stood upon and there is a large sliding hatch which one can then stand up through. There is an enclosed electronics box just forward of the hatch that allows the captain to comfortably handle the boat while standing partly outside.
The aft deck/cockpit is a favorite place on this boat as it is covered with a hardtop. There is a beautiful folding table in the middle of the space with four folding captains' chairs. What a perfect place to enjoy a quiet morning or relax at anchor after a good day's trip.
Dolphin has been lovingly maintained by her owners. She is extremely clean on both the interior and exterior. The Awlcraft 2000 Jade Mist Green hull and the deck, pilothouse and cabin house painted with Imron Cream with green accents is beautiful.
