A large port side walkthrough door provides access, adjacent to which is a swim shower and water connection. The test model featured a complete bolster package for enhanced protection during fishing. Mechanical components and pumps are accessible through a sizable in-floor hatch. Twin insulated fish boxes, each with a 390-quart capacity, are integrated into the aft floor with dedicated drains and macerator pumps to keep catches fresh.
