All varnished brightwork has also been kept up and reapplied each Spring. Her 2025 engine service also included aftercooler removal, cleaning and pressure testing. Her interior was totally revamped a few years ago to maximize space, comfort and accessibility while maintaining a clean, classy look throughout. All new electronics, LP plugs, beefy backbars, Ice Maker, new teaser reels, AC systems, StarLink and a host of other recent add ons, just serve to make your daily fishing experience even more enjoyable.

She holds 460 gal of fuel as well, so that makes a lot of things possible on the Worldwide scene these days...
