The bar converts into a cozy bed for two, and there’s a head just a step away, useful as a day head for swimmers. The area can be optioned as an en suite cabin with two bunks, or as a tender garage large enough to hold a 10’6” (3.20 m) RIB. The swim platform is hydraulic, allowing easy launch of the dink or a PWC. Note the lights in the stairs and in the overhead for the cabana. An outdoor sink, grill, and refrigerator are just up the stairs on the starboard side of the aft deck.

We tested her with twin 250-hp Evinrude E-TEC G2s on an Armstrong aluminum bracket. The clean, single-tube rigging of the all-digital controls leaves plenty of space on the bracket so that it can act as a swim platform with the addition of a ladder between the engines. The Evinrude outboards put the 7,255 lb. (3,291 kg) package on plane in just 3.1 seconds, while top speed was 50.6 mph. At a trolling speed of 5.9 mph, the engines got a combined 4.5 mpg, while noise level was just 74 dBa.

Note the pantographic door for easy single-hand tie-ups and ventilation. This area also includes a power window to port. The ship’s main electrical panel is on the port side console under a glass cover, a convenient location neatly designed for both utility and appearance. While this helm is on the starboard side, the flybridge helm is on the port side, giving the operator good views no matter which way a dock is approached.

Note how the port side console seat swivels to face aft. Standard grass mat decking is easy on the feet. There’s soft faux-teak on the swim platform. Overall, she has seating for 17 while underway, or more while at anchor including the large aft convertible seat/sun lounge. The Power Tower is standard, and the full hardtop with a sliding sun roof is an option. A wet bar in the cockpit with an optional grill welcomes entertaining.

The massive powder-coated aluminum structure is strong enough to support a control station and seating for two topside, yet it’s completely unobtrusive and won’t snag fishing gear. The large windshield includes both a washer and a wiper, and it can be lowered at a touch to provide ventilation. The quality of the seat upholstery throughout offers a level of comfort usually only seen in much larger yachts.

[![uscg report](/sites/default/files/inline-images/helm.jpg)](https://www.boattest.com/view-news/6546) [Because I said so, that’s why!](https://www.boattest.com/view-news/6546) Why do we, in North America anyway, have our steering wheels in the car on the left, but on the boat it’s on the right? There are several schools of thought on the matter, and they range from outlandish to “well that makes sense!” One thing is for sure, the standard answers your mother gave when she couldn’t think of another answer, is not gonna fly here.
