This project, which won an Outstanding Achievement Award in the full exterior powerboats 27 feet and up category of the 2009 MFA Awards, included a full flybridge enclosure with a two-part top, a lower sunshade top with zip-out access to the upper station, an all new two-part bimini top with stainless steel frame and a full enclosure with u-shape zip outs. The new cockpit sunshade features a stainless steel frame. The customer wanted full protection from elements with options for ventilation and wanted to be able to sit out of elements in lower aft deck. The customer also wanted to be able to remove all enclosure and aft part of the flybridge top for hot-weather use. The lower station top has removable cutout for access to the flybridge area.
