The dual padded seat up forward will be a popular spot for lounging at idle. The anchor locker hatch up there is rather narrow, however, at just 5 1/2" wide, which could make it tough to sort out a tangle in the rode. Otherwise, it's hard to find anything to complain about. Construction is all composites, with stringers made of a matrix of foam and fiberglass and a transom formed of high-density urethane and fiberglass. The gel coat sports a deep shine, and the hullsides are as smooth as the rear panels on a Cadillac. Each 10" cleat is backed by aluminum plates, and electrical connections are all shrink-wrapped.
