Best for
- Inland and coastal cruising

- Owners comfortable maintaining older production systems
Trade-offs
- Operating cost reflects twin-engine planing performance
- Model-year changes can materially alter layout and systems
- Older examples require close survey attention to structure, tanks, wiring and machinery
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
- Verify moisture around deck hardware, windows, hatches and rail bases
- Inspect flybridge, arch, windshield and upper-deck penetrations for water intrusion and structural movement
- Inspect fuel, water and waste tanks plus hoses and fittings
- Inspect engines, transmissions or sterndrives, exhaust and cooling systems
- Review AC/DC wiring, shore-power equipment and documented electrical modifications
- Confirm steering, trim-tab and generator operation where fitted
