The base model of this boat is priced with 5.7 liter, raw water cooled, 315 HP engines. While the upgrade 8.1 liter, fresh water cooled engines installed in this boat represent a 45% increase in size they boost horse power by 17%. This engineering by Volvo-Penta was designed to provide an increase in fuel economy and extended engine life. The sellers report 1800 RPM yields 6-9 knots current dependent. 3400-3800 RPM yields 27 knots again current dependent. Regarding fuel consumption the seller reports the following, We made it to Ilwaco from Portland Yacht Club in 3.5 hours, using 150 gallons of fuel. That's 43 gallons per hour or 21 per engine mostly at 3600-3800 rpm. Winds were calm and the river current was minuscule as it was in August. Most often we run at about 10 knots (2200 rpm) unless there's up to a 6 knot current which we see in the Columbia in the spring and sometimes in the winter. At that rate of speed, we usually do something around 5-10 gallons per hour per engine.

This beautiful boat is boarded on a deep stern platform provided with a spiral shaped stairway with safe, wide steps taking you up to a very good sized aft sun deck equipped with a molded hard cover and removable carpets. This aft deck (with a full enclosure which was stowed at the time of this listing) has a settee and space for chairs and a small table and has a BBQ mounted on the port side. It also boasts beautiful glass doors on both sides which gives you access to the side decks going forward. A dark tinted and molded glass door to starboard slides to open the salon to this deck. Stepping down into the salon you feel as though you are entering a luxury studio apartment. Brightly lit by lots of glass (tinted from the outside) the interior of this boat is nothing short of stunningly. There is a helm station to starboard equipped with a “Flexsteel” barrel chair. Next to your entry is an entertainment center. The flat screen TV doubles as Navigation electronics read out for the lower helm station. The windows all have very tasteful drapery treatments, the floors are carpeted, wood surfaces are cherry with bright gloss finish. The galley is to starboard with black granite counters. The microwave is a convection oven version. Forward is a guest cabin with the bed set at an angle, head to port. Starboard in this cabin is a hanging locker, drawers under the bed and to port an entrance to the forward head. Returning to the salon there is a salon table with bench style seating to port and behind that a leather “Flexsteel” “L" shaped couch that converts to a good size double berth. Stepping down there is a master aft cabin. This cabin has a large “egress-access” hatch that doubles as a huge window onto the swim platform. This cabin has en-suite head and walk around queen berth. There is ample storage throughout the boat with all areas giving you the sense of luxury. The boat easily sleeps six adults. With the aft deck settee and the flybridge seating a couple of kids could very easily sleep there as these areas are completely enclosed. The reverse cycle AC/heat system has 3 separate zones for control.

Returning to the aft sun deck the large fly bridge helm deck with 360 degree visibility is accessed just a few steps up. This deck has a very well equipped navigation station with an “L” shaped guest seating area, a pedestal guest seat and a helm seat with arms. All navigational needs are at hand with controls for bow and stern thrusters as well as all operational systems. This area also has a cabinet with sink, additional storage and storage under the bench style seating. The flybridge is completely enclosed with isenglass and has opening windows including one with windshield wiper.
