This is a very special boat owned and operated by a wonderful family for many years.  In October of 2003 we had the good fortune and pleasure to repower this boat and install many upgrades.  The original engine was an OMC Sea Drive unit.  That was removed and a custom-built motor bracket was installed.  We installed the new Honda BF225 engine on that.  At the same time we completely re-did the steering system adding a new aft station and new hydraulic helms at the main station (tilt helm) and it the aft (cockpit) station.  New controls were fitting at both stations and new gauges also installed.  There are controls for the main engine and the kicker motor at the aft helm station.  Fuel capacity is 100 gallons in dual 50-gallon tanks.

In June of 2004 we provided a brand-new King Saltwater triple axle trailer with electrically controlled hydraulic disc brakes.  This trailer is also equipped with heavy duty side load guides and LED lights, as well as with a spare tire mounted on a spare hub on a carrier.

In the spring of 2005 we added a Honda BFP15 auxiliary (kicker) motor fully rigged to operate from the aft cockpit helm. A Raymarine DS-550X digital sounder was also installed at the rear helm station.

We also installed our custom designed radar arch and a full suite of new electronics which includes the Raymarine C-80 multifunction display, a RayStar GPS sensor, the DSM digital sounder module, and a radar scanner.  In addition we installed an XM satellite radio antenna on the arch as well.

The boat features camper canvas for the cockpit.  The forward half can be set up by itself for protection at the rear helm while fishing, crabbing, shrimping, just cruising, or whatever, and the aft portion left down out of the way.  Or the whole thing can be set up fully enclosing the aft cockpit for a very large "rec room".

The interior is laid out with a large storage closet, galley, and helm to starboard; the head compartment and dinette to port.  A v-berth with privacy doors is all the way forward.

Many upgrades over the years of ownership include a new foredeck hatch, stainless cabin top rails, a center opening forward window, pressure water system, a deep sink, and all new upholstery.
