Best for
- Couples wanting a compact long-range cruising layout
- Great Loop and inland/coastal cruising
- Buyers wanting single-diesel simplicity with flybridge visibility
Trade-offs
- Flybridge adds windage and air draft
- Fast-cruise capability comes with higher fuel burn than displacement operation
- One-cabin layout is less private for extended guest cruising
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
- Inspect flybridge structure, helm controls and weather exposure
- Inspect single-diesel cooling, exhaust, shaft and stern gear
- Inspect saloon windows, side door and deck penetrations for leaks
- Inspect fuel, water, sanitation and electrical systems
