High gloss cherry woodwork and decorator furnishings highlight the interior, and incorporates fore and aft heads with stall showers. A wet bar with refrigerator, walk-thru windshield, double helm seat, and U-shaped aft lounge are standard in the bi-level cockpit. Twin 420hp V-drive gas engines cruise at 22 knots, high 20s tops.
