Key Features
The U-shaped settee in the cockpit converts into a giant sunpad, and the wet bar is one of the biggest we’ve seen complete with a Corian countertop, sink and ice maker. For the swimmers and water lovers there’s a transom shower with both hot-and-cold water. The Kiekhaefer Zero Effort controls have a convenient drive trim switch in the handle which give you a hint of the performance that’s available here. The galley features Corian countertops and a full size refrigerator. And when it’s time to relax, a TV with VCR and Kenwood stereo system with CD player come standard.
