This is a classic motor yacht from a highly regarded Pacific Northwest designer that was built in a legendary Seattle boat yard.

Her traditional interior layout features two (2) private sleeping cabins and a marine toilet compartment down and forward followed up and after with a spacious wheel house and in-line galley with well-furnished main cabin and open cockpit aft of the salon. A cockpit ladder leads up to the flying bridge with companion seating.

The forward cabin features a double berth to port with a single to starboard with new upholstery in a classic bow cabin. Aft to port is a second cabin with lower and upper single berths. Opposite to starboard is a marine toilet compartment with Dometic electric toilet and a shower. An electric dryer is installed here for convenience.

Aft up companionway stairs is the main cabin and galley. The helm is to starboard with a galley opposite to port. The centerpiece of the galley is the original diesel cookstove which also provides for cabin heating. A single sink is installed in a formica countertop. There is a counter top door to an icebox cold plate refrigerator and another reach in refrigerator built in to the cabinetry. Opposite the galley is a forward looking settee. Aft through a doorway in a teak bulkhead is the salon with a built-in sofa for seating which pulls out to form a double berth. There is a large teak folding dinette table, a bar refrigerator in a teak cabinet, and a flat screen television. The salon offers excellent views through large windows. Teak double doors lead to the open aft deck with teak flooring and a ladder to the upper flybridge with a large deck area.
