Fuel efficient and comfortable cruising at ~24kn. A joy to drive with a plethora of windows making all-round vision almost unparalleled in a cabin boat of the same class. The addition of the large Garmin navigation system, electric windscreen wipers (with fresh water spray) and comfortable helm makes it a trustworthy and comfortable boat, even in the most unpleasant weather.
The boat has been meticulously setup for personal comfort, safety and enjoyment on extended trips and is a turn-key setup ready to head out exploring.

I will be selling the boat with a near new (used just a few times) awesome Tackacat 2.6m inflatable tender and new Suzuki 6Hp (in white) with anti-cavitation plate. Both fit in the Lazarette when not needed.

A unique boat with everything needed to get on the water ASAP.
