Performance and Propulsion

• Engines: This specific 1999 model is equipped with Twin Caterpillar 3126 7.2Ltr Inboards, producing 420 HP each. While many models featured Volvo Penta TAMD series engines, the Caterpillar 3126 is known for high torque and reliability.

• Handling: The vessel utilizes a shaft drive transmission—a sought-after feature for its simplicity and reliability compared to sterndrives. Its slender beam (12' 6") contributes to exceptional open-water performance and efficient planing.

• Efficiency: Estimated fuel economy for similar-sized hulls with these engines is approximately 0.8 mpg at a 20-25 knot cruise.

Interior Layout and Amenities

The interior is characterized by high-gloss cherry woodwork and a space-efficient layout that rivals larger boats.

• Condition Notes (GREEK TIME): The specific surveyed vessel showed signs of "blushing" in the woodwork finish and water stains due to uncovered moorage.

Exterior and Cockpit Features

• Social Spaces: The single-level cockpit is a major highlight, featuring a large wrap-around dining area, a wet bar (with sink and fridge), and expansive sunbeds both forward and aft.

• Tender Garage: A standout feature in this category is the integral garage located under the aft sundeck, which can accommodate a small RIB or jet tender.
