The interior is Bristol finished in mahogany with white overhead featuring 6' 6" headroom and 2 private cabins to sleep 4 with more on the settee.  Entering down the custom matched stairs the galley is to starboard with the guest cabin opposite.   An L shaped settee with custom hi/lo table is amidship to port with with the head opposite.  The owners cabin with centerline queen berth is forward.

The execution and attention to detail is beyond any production run boat. There is no other boat in her class that has been built to the standards of this vessel.  Every detail has been addressed down to the engraved outrigger clips, custom glass in the shower and companionway stairs with matched grain from the same block of mahogany!   All finish work is of solid wood construction and no veneers were used.  The owner's goal: to build a beautiful, comfortable,  fast and solid constructed offshore express fisherman, capable of being fished hard in any seas,  yet fun to entertain on; has been more than achieved.
