She features a Euro style transom with dual stairwells and safety gates on either side leading up to the aft deck.

The expansive aft deck looks gorgeous with a new teak deck added in 2018. She features split forward-facing seating with a Corian tabletop. From here you can access the interior through two sliding panoramic doors, take the starboard side ladder up the fly bridge or transit the bow by her modified walk around side decks. Her functionality is perfect as both a couple’s cruiser and a crewed vessel. Additional aft deck highlights include….

The Flybridge of BONKERS is accessible from the aft deck by ladder or from the stbd side of the dinette area from a stainless-steel stairway. The bridge is well out to be functional and social. The aft half of the bridge with her 13.5” Novurania on board is utilitarian in nature. There is a hydraulic davit for launch and retrieval. With the tender down this aft bridge area could be transformed into additional social seating or even sun space. The fwd. half of the bridge has a center walkway flanked by two storage cabinets. She boasts the must hardtop option with great weather protection from 3 sides of isinglass enclosure. The two wing panels roll up for air flow if desired. Her seating areas are split port and stbd with L shaped Sunbrella fabric cushions, each side having their own cocktail table. There is a single center line mounted captains chair just aft of the helm. Visibility from the helm is excellent. BONKERS features an updated top of the line GARMIN electronics package to assist in navigation and communications during shipboard journeys.
