Large windows provide excellent visibility and the boat comes with manually operated windshield wipers as standard equipment. On this particular boat the cabin was open to the cockpit. A canvas bulkhead can be installed to divide the areas and provide more weather protection. The cockpit features a relatively flat floor, and while not spacious, it is larger than expected on a boat featuring sleeping accommodations and a covered cabin area. There is a substantial amount of free board, a large engine well and storage for batteries and fuel tanks under the engine well.
Gunwales are wide and feature an aggressive nonskid pattern.
Our test boat was powered by a Honda 50 Hp four-cycle outboard. The Hondas have developed an enviable reputation for reliability, fuel efficiency, and smooth operation. The Hondas are perceived to be very quiet engines, even though our dB meter shows that they are in the same noise range as competing engines. The difference is in the quality of noise. The Hondas have a more pleasing sound.
