The Cummins 8.3 liter common rail diesel is a reliable engine used in many industrial applications. This engine has had regular service its whole life. The sellers have been on a first name relationship with their Cummins mechanic since before they purchased this boat. Beyond fluid changes, the coolers have been removed and cleaned regularly as well as fuel system and injector service. The engine area is clean and a pleasant place to be, this helps make performing the service a joyful and satisfying experience. A Reverso oil change system helps make sure changing fluids is quick and clean. A redundant Glendinning System was fitted in 2023. It provides a backup in case the something happens to the engine's throttle or gear controls.

This vessel's interior has been designed to be comfortable for extended living aboard. The saloon features large windows that bring in lots of light. The open style interior layout is nice for small groups. An L-shape settee on starboard functions well for cocktails, dining, or can convert to a double bunk. Forward on port is the U-shaped galley with solid surface countertops. The galley refrigerator/freezer combo is a NovaKool RF9200 double compressor model replaced in 2023. Another smaller refrigerator and additional ice maker are located in the pilothouse. Cooking can be with the Force 10 propane stove or Panasonic microwave (replaced in 2023). There is additionally a Magma Catalina grill (replaced 2022) in the cockpit. Forward on starboard is the entertainment center with updated TV, stereo, and sound bar. All of the interior wood finishes are made of jatoba and have been recently renewed with oil.

Walking up a few steps to the pilothouse you will notice a benefit of the "Tug" design is her hollow stack, which opens up the space between the saloon and pilothouse. The pilothouse is large and open with great sightlines for commanding the vessel. There are sliding doors on port and starboard for deck access and a table and settee have additional seating for 3. Navigation electronics are mounted in the dash and overhead with easy access from the helm.

Down a stairwell to starboard is access to the two sleeping cabins and two heads. First is the guest stateroom in the bow. This cabin has both a double and a twin bunk and features a private head and shower. The guest cabin is also the location of a full size chart drawer, washer and dryer, and access to the more storage and systems like the bow thruster.

The master stateroom is down a few more steps towards mid ships. It has a walk-around queen berth, large closet, and numerous drawers. A large private head and shower are along the starboard side.

All spaces are heated with an Espar forced air heater that is ducted throughout the boat. Additionally, three King 110volt heaters keep her warm when connected to dock side power. Climate control is additionally aided by an OceanAire reverse-cycle unit for the master cabin.
