To port is a wet bar with refrigerator (new 2018), sink, and moulded storage for cushions and other items. A good selection of stainless steel grabrails and drinks holders are provided, but designed to be unobtrusive and stylish as well as practical, and the hardtop has a large powered sun hatch for warm sunny days. A lazerette forward gives plenty of space for storing additional equipment, and the large engine compartment is easily accessed thanks to the electronically opening hatch and fitted stainless steel ladder. Moving aft, the walk-through transom leads to a generous bathing platform with hot and cold shower, built-in fender rack, and a concealed bathing ladder.
