displacement speeds yet capable of planing speeds of 20 knots. Bow and stern thrusters and NAIAD active fin stabilizers make operating her smooth and pleasurable.

A/C System Upgrades:
Remove factory strainers from under mid-cabin floor and install larger thru hull valves and larger strainers in the engine room.

Removed old storage box from floor and moved the generator wet mufflers back creating more accessibility to the entire space.
Updated black water sewage system, by eliminating the overboard discharge thru hull valves with new hoses straight to the holding tank. The thru hulls were then capped. The pump for the bunk room head was moved into the machinery space from under forward bunk to minimize the length of run. The pump out and vent hoses were also replaced at this time.
Electronics:
A major electronic upgrade was completed in 2020. This included a new Garmin 8616 XSV touchscreen in pilot house, Garmin 8624 GPS on flybridge, SIMRAD 8648 autopilot, and Garmin 18-mile radar dome. Eight new high-resolu8on cameras and a monitor were installed with enhanced night vision on the forward and the center aft units.
