Stepping down below through the Zarcor companionway doors, sturdy substantial steps carry you down into the spacious salon. To port is a large ultra-suede dining settee with room for six around the table. To starboard is the nav station with a swivel out chair and ample storage in the settee just aft. Moving forward is the private master cabin with queen sized Pullman berth to port. Over-sized drawers pull out from underneath the berth and a cedar-lined hanging locker and additional drawer storage is to port. The master cabin head and shower are located all the way forward with a separate shower with bench seat and a full sized freshwater marine head.
The L-shaped galley is to port aft of the salon. The galley boasts a large double stainless steel sink and expandable hose faucet. The three burner propane stove has a cover to align flush with the ample Corian
counter tops. There is a deep top-loading refrigerator and separate freezer. A fold-up counter extension can be raised to increase cooking space for culinary enthusiasts. Farther aft is ample, deep storage areas and access to the AGM batteries. The companionway stairs fold forward for ample engine access and coupled with the side engine access panels permit near 360* engine access. Aft and to starboard is the access to the aft cabin that features an oversized queen berth. An opening hatch and ports create an airy space with ample access to a hanging locker and drawers.
