FEATURES
Up front is a useful recess with a large cleat for lines and above is a rubber fairlead to guide lines safely away over the tube.
Just aft is a large draining anchor locker with two compartments for anchor and fender storage.
Set into the front of the console is a single seat with high safe sides which hold you firmly in place with two stainless grab handles.
The cabin is twin berth with an opening ventilation hatch. The interior is carpet lined with head linings and the interior cushion set is in four sections. The middle cushions with boards pull out leaving a foot well with teak and holly floor, the floor ends are left open to allow skis and rods to push up under the fore deck. There is also room to fit a sea toilet, this sits under centre cushion boards.
The companion way, hatch and dash panel are finished in teak. The windscreen is 8mm plastic and angles the weather up over the driving position, it is supported by stainless grab handle. We have a spray hood option, in foul weather it can be clipped round the windscreen and pulled up into position very quickly allowing you to continue your journey at reasonable speed in rain or heavy spray.
The console has wrap round sides giving a very safe feeling helm position.
The twin helm bolster seat is very comfortable and allows you to stand or sit. It has plenty of storage room inside, a handy accessories recess with teak cup holders in the rear and stainless grab handles.
Behind the helms seat is a huge open area and we have a table option.
In the stern is a full wrap around seat for four, a moulded engine well with substantial ‘A’ frame.
The tow eye in the top of the frame will pull a reasonable size skier. The inside space of the engine well moulding is used for battery storage etc. We have a teak bathing platform option for the stern, and room for an auxiliary outboard bracket.
The hull is very deep with heavy chine’s to throw spray down and away and give lift; we fit a STD 255 litre fuel tank under the floor.
