- Optional windlass and beach boarding ladder lets you drop anchor wherever you find yourself on the journey.
- Innovative helm seat transforms from a captain’s chair into a leaning post or a vantage point for trolling with the push of a button.
- Spacious forward lounge conceals a large storage garage, designed to provide easier access to dive tanks, buckets and fishing rods.
- Ample rod storage, a standard transom livewell and pump-out forward fishbox provide outstanding fishability.
