This Nelson Marek designed center cockpit cruiser is a tough, go-anywhere boat with comfortable accommodations for five. She was modified by an engineer/cabinet maker who re-designed much of the boat to accommodate easy and comfortable passage. The transom has been tastefully and cleverly redesigned with a sugar scoop transom that adds 1.5 feet to the overall length of the boat. This design, in addition to making the boat slightly faster, is an excellent swim and dinghy platform. Another MAJOR change in this boat is the Master Stateroom. Originally a side-to berth, this stateroom now has a Full Island Berth similar to the Morgan 44, with additional cabinetry, a built-in sit down area to port, and lots of storage. The aft aluminum dinghy arch and the cockpit hard top finish off this boat as truly custom and very functional.
