The strong suit of the layout is a huge cockpit, salon and bridge, with the forward accommodations being sacrificed for these spaces, as is appropriate for a real sport fisherman. Not quite as macho as a Bertram of the same genre, this is still a muscle boat with interiors that are hardly plush. The main flavors were galley up and galley down, with more of the former in later years, and more of the later in early years. All had transom doors that never worked so good. Plus the optional tackle centers had too much wood in them.
Later models come with a built in bow pulpit, and all have transom doors.
Earlier models have a bridge layout that's not nearly as nice as the 1980's models. Nor are they known as leakers, despite the forward windshields which needed infrequent rebedding. The window frames do support the bridge, and boats that have been abused will often have cracked window glass. Otherwise, its not much of a problem. Aside from forward windshields, there are few faults to be found with these boats.
