TACKS SEASON TOO features a large, bright and airy salon with plenty of headroom at 6’ 6”, nicely equipped galley, two heads with separate shower, full navigation center and walk-in work shop. Forward is the large guest head with separate shower, sink, vanity and abundant storage. Directly aft of the head is the full-beam VIP cabin with large, double Pullman berth to port and convertible pilot berth to starboard, which is over the large desk with swing-out seating. Hanging locker, drawers and shelves provide plenty of storage. The extra-large main salon uses the full 16' 6" beam for an exceptionally open feel. To port is a large, U-Shaped Settee with adjustable table with two removeable leaves. Opposite is the starboard side settee. All upholstery is Ultrasuede and is in good condition. Aft of the settee on the port side is the cleverly designed navigation station where all instruments and radio are set above the chart table so as not to encroach on the floor space; making the layout all the more spacious. Forward of the starboard settee are more well-designed storage lockers and shelves. The interior is bathed in natural light provided by large fixed windows on both sides of the salon and double hull ports adding to the open feel and providing great views. The large owner's suite features a centerline queen bed, large en suite head with stall shower, electric flush toilet and an abundance of storage.
