We found it to be extremely easy entry and quite roomy on the bridge with plenty of seating. Although the write up didn't mention an icemaker, and it technically doesn't have one, both the refrigerator on the bridge and the one in the galley had freezer sections.
The aft deck has three panels. We noticed about six inches of water in the bilge under the engines and the sales rep didn't know why. Probably either a blown fuse or a bad bilge pump, right?
We did notice the center panel that exposes the generator has a soft spot in it. It's basically right where you would step when stepping out of the salon. That was concerning. Any thoughts on what is wrong and what it would take to repair that center panel?
With the salon steps in the up position and the deck plates off, there would be lots of easy access to performing your own maintenance. That's a big plus in my book.
In the salon, there was plenty of storage everywhere. The galley had enough room that the two of us could cook together and it had plenty of storage for dishes, pots, pans, and food. The settee and the dinette were comfortable. We can easily fit on the bed together and there is easy access to either side of the island berth. The shower has plenty of room for one and, yes, I even sat on the head.
The head seals are holding water nicely, too.The boat was recently detailed. The gelcoat appears really thin on the port side forward. Not sure what could be done about that or if anything even needs to be done. Any ideas?
The rest was all cosmetic but nothing serious. A couple of slits in the eisenglass and a small hole in the canvas around the eisenglass, which could probably be stitched with matching thread and be inconspicuous.
The broker didn't bring the maintenance logs so I have no idea when the bottom was painted or the oil and filters or impellers were changed.
Overall, we gave it an 8.5. High on liveability and ease of maintenance. Tomorrow we are touring a 2004 Cruisers 375 and will be comparing the two.
