- Deep-V hull and performance machinery add complexity and draft compared with simple lobster-hull cruisers
- Interior volume is moderate for overall length
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 hull/deck laminate and hardware penetrations
- Review engine, pod/shaft, exhaust and cooling service records
- Inspect trim tabs, steering, thrusters and electronic controls
- Verify machinery package and performance configuration
