3 x 300-hp Mercury Verado V8



Brief Summary

Constructed in Oconto, Wisconsin, by a legendary US shipbuilder with over seven decades of boat-building mastery, this executive coupe reflects an enduring dedication to quality craftsmanship and owner satisfaction. Specially created for boating enthusiasts seeking extended season capabilities, the model combines an enclosed pilot house with open-air relaxation zones. Its optimized hull shape cuts effortlessly through swell, delivering a dry, smooth ride along with superior fuel economy across varied sea conditions.

The main level centers around an enclosed salon with panoramic glass, a retractable roof panel, and sliding rear glass walls that link directly to an outdoor cockpit area. Underneath, the lower accommodations showcase a spacious owner’s room with a double bed and generous storage, a secondary guest berth, a full galley with modern cooking amenities, and a private washroom featuring a standalone stall shower. Buyers can tailor their vessel with joystick docking controls, synthetic teak decking, hydraulic aft platforms, enhanced marine audio systems, and extended shade awnings.

Key Features:

  • Climate-Controlled Main Salon: Glass-enclosed upper deck shielded from weather elements, complete with sliding glass entry doors and an overhead electric sunroof.
  • Dual Private Staterooms: Generous overnight sleeping quarters below deck, including a spacious forward owner's suite and a flexible mid-ship guest room.
  • Indoor-Outdoor Flow: Drop-down rear windows and wide doorway connect the interior galley and seating directly to the outdoor aft cockpit.
  • Intuitive Helm & Docking Assist: Twin digital touchscreen displays aggregate system telemetry, navigation charts, and optional joystick control for simplified docking.
