The helm benefits from recently updated electronics, including a Raymarine autopilot, Raymarine displays, a B&G screen, and a Garmin depth sounder, with additional GPS, VHF, and SSB capability onboard.

Cruising tankage includes 85 gallons of fresh water in three tanks, 40 gallons of fuel, and a 25-gallon holding tank with manual overboard discharge.

The galley is equipped with a three-burner CNG stove and oven, refrigerator, and ice maker. The head includes a dedicated stand-up shower, a notable feature in this size range. Additional amenities include hot and cold pressure water, 12-volt fans throughout, a 32-inch TV, and updated interior wood paint, making this a versatile platform for club racing, coastal cruising, or extended time on the water.
