Hargrave 100 Sassy:
Ready to Entertain in Grand Style
The Hargrave 100 Sassy is clearly built to entertain large gatherings in grand style. The high-gloss walnut table in the dining area seats eight, and a second dining area for eight is found on the aft deck. There's a jet tub, bar, outdoor grill, and lots more on the flying bridge. The model we tested had five en suites and quarters for five crew. She's powered with twin 1,622-hp Caterpillar C-32 diesels with V-drives, and carries 3,200 gallons (12,113 L) of fuel, ready to range the world's oceans.
