Power comes from twin Caterpillar 3412E diesels rated 1,400 hp each, direct drive, alongside a 21.5 kW Onan generator. Both engines and the genset were fully serviced in April 2026. Engine hours stand at approximately 3,646, with roughly 4,600 hours on the generator.

The electronics package includes two Garmin GPSMAP 7215 chartplotters, a Garmin AIS800 transceiver, Icom VHF radios, and a Simrad Robertson autopilot with RPU80 pump, together with Caterpillar electronic controls and displays.

The cockpit is laid out to fish, with a sole lazarette and fishbox served by a macerator discharge, a well-appointed tackle center, and a tuna tower fitted with its own helm station. Belowdecks, three staterooms including a forward stateroom and two heads accommodate a full crew, and the salon is finished to a standard closer to a motor yacht than a sportfish.

Hullsides, topside and cockpit paint were done in 2018, with new interior wall and ceiling liners the same year. Further equipment includes underwater lighting, a Cablemaster, a WalVac central vacuum system, an electric grill and a trash compactor. The fiberglass deep-vee hull carries 1,320 gallons of fuel, 200 gallons of fresh water and a 100 gallon holding tank.
