At one point in the boat tour, I mentioned "they thought of everything." And at the very least, I believe they came close.

A two-tiered design, the deck is ideal for fishing or entertaining because it is equipped with a folding aft seat. The slightly-raised cockpit features a wet bar with a wine rack, an optional ice maker and drawer refrigerator, and L-shaped seating with storage below.

The helm station is a sight to behold. Electronics packages are optional, but our model was equipped with auto pilot and the Raymarine G190, which includes a chart plotter preloaded with 3D charts, HDFI Fish Finder, transducer, Sea Talk networking, and a Ray 240 VHF radio. E-Plex ditigal switching with touchscreen interfaces offers monitoring at the helm and in the cabin. The double wide electric helm seat has a flip up bolster, and beneath it is an air conditioning vent from the cabin - a cool touch for hot days.
