The forward dash to port was removed which opened up the galley, making the boat feel more connected and airier with LOTS of natural light. A fiberglass chart locker with clear Lexan top was also added forward of the passenger Stidd seat. The helm area provides great 360-degree visibility for captain and mate from the comfort of matching Stidd helm seats.
