This model, which received significant upgrades in 2020, stands out as the first oversized center console of its kind, setting a high standard for both performance and layout. With a length of 42 ft and a selling price of $549,900 USD, this vessel was originally constructed as a yacht tender, featuring custom seating and a taller cabin to ensure additional headroom, making it a perfect blend of comfort and functionality.
