This view shows the treatment of the forward window frames which, especially with the curved section, are prone to leakage. Look closely and you can see the that the frame is in front of the small raised coaming so that any leakage drains back out, and not into the interior to cause damage. This shot of the engine room is taken from the open center hatch. Its shallow but your won't kill yourself trying to change oil or check on things. Nearly everything is conveniently located for servicing, including the strainers.
Generator is to the right in front of engines, easily serviced.
The bridge coaming is very thin glass and on many of these we've found it to be buckled and warped where its screwed down around the base. This can be prevented by drilling oversize holes and using Teflon washers under the screw heads so that expansion and contraction during heating and cooling doesn't cause it to buckle. Also, the access hatch cover on the bench beside the helm is not properly sealed. It leaks and the water runs down the starboard side house pilaster and may damage the air-conditioning controls, as well as staining the interior fabric. Unfortunately, the hull shape won't quite give the performance of a Bertram or Blackfin, but its adequate in my view to handle the moderate stuff.
