There is varnished teak on the helm pod and toerail. The transom fish box is 58' long and contains the Eskimo icemaker outlet (600 lb/day). Starboard of the fish box is the 32' tuna door.

Under the covering boards on the port side is 50A shore power pressure washer wash down and freshwater wash down and on the starboard side is freshwater intake and saltwater wash down. This cockpit is a pleasure to fish. Since the captain controls it all he is well considered on the bridge. The bridge can seat eight and has two helm chairs. The console interior allows for easy access to electronics and provides a great work area. The console is to port with the helm on the starboard end. The helm is on the centerline of the boat.
