Man ... That boat is a beauty. I definitely like seeing those trillion seats I build at work on the actual boat. Awesome stuff.

No deck hatches ? It's not like they stick up above the flooring . Marlin , there's no fighting chair . Kind of a boat with not a lot of forethought by the owner , especially regarding service to systems !

I kind of agree. it seems to be a "small 53" and it is compared to viking 54c. over a foot less beam. I assume white marlin or something like that. the odd blue but not pulling 130s. The cockpit is bigger than the viking even with a heap less beam which is interesting. the boat weighs 25k lb less than a viking. The smaller size is why I assume that's why the mechanicals are all over the place. Trying to fit everything in to a small package. Boats are tradeoffs. certainly this is model 1. its been years coming and it looks kind of like its been rushed to show which is fair enough. let them build 5 or 6 of them before they know what works. On one hand I really like it. It's definitely more pure fisherman less bells and whistles. At the same time way less refined than viking whose boats just seem to have gone up another level with the newer 54 and 64. I wonder what the price difference between the 2 are.
