Best for
- Experienced buyers seeking a genuine lobster-boat-style hull
- Coastal cruisers who prioritize seakeeping and cockpit utility
- Owners comfortable verifying hull-specific equipment
Trade-offs
- Semi-custom and custom finishes create large hull-to-hull differences
- Model-wide accommodation and tankage data are not consistently standardized
- Older examples may have extensive owner modifications
Known concerns
- No model-specific concern has been promoted to B-Atlas’s evidence threshold. This does not mean the model has no age-, condition- or hull-specific risks.
Inspection focus
- Confirm hull builder, finisher, year and HIN
- Inspect structural additions, deckhouse and bulkhead workmanship
- Inspect engine installation, exhaust, cooling and shaft/outboard conversion
- Verify tankage, wiring and plumbing installations
- Verify actual dimensions, displacement and accommodations
