Pilothouse

With the advent of the SX model, the pilothouse/salon became fully enclosed, climate-controlled and finished with an interior level of detail. This greatly enhanced the liveability vs. the earlier HX model. In addition, the area is "lockable"- electronics and other personal items are much better protected.Enclosed Pilothouse salonTwin STIDD pedestal seats (electric)Companion Chart TableStarboard helm stationStarboard Pilot House Door (rare)L-Settee to portSalon ChairEntertainment Center with abundant storageFlat Screen TV on electronic liftElectricTeak Hi-Lo Table with flip-up leavesRare centerline salon door aft Center windshield opens via actuator
