The vessel runs a 400-hp low-emissions Cummins engine and carries Simrad electronics, a Furuno 582 600-watt fish finder, Furuno 36-mile radar, a Robertson autopilot, and an Echotec GPS plotter. Deck space runs 100 square feet of unobstructed cockpit with padded coaming, a sun shade, a private head, a 90-gallon live well, and 18-foot offshore outriggers.
