She features extensive upgrades, including a cockpit mezzanine, teak cockpit, two generators, new batteries and a water maker. She has low, original hours. Her updated interior is comfortable and luxurious, great for a family weekend away or a serious fishing trip. The layout is arranged with the galley and dinette forward in the salon with three staterooms below. Both floorplans include two full heads as well as a standard washer/dryer adjacent to the companionway steps. Varnished teak cabinets, rich designer fabrics, and deep pile carpeting are applied throughout the interior. The spacious cockpit sports a recessed fish box, bait prep station, and direct acess to the spacious engine room. The bridge ladder is positioned over the salon steps to save cockpit space.
