Digital control and readout panels for refrigeration are located in a position to be monitored from the salon settee and helm. With the Frigiboat digitally controlled units, each unit is temperature controlled individually and can be set at freezer temps or refrigerator temps, the choice is yours.The units are capable of subzero settings. A Sharp microwave is in an overhead cabinet. A top load pantry is opposite the top load ice box.

All of the televisions are currently connected to the KVH G4 satellite antenna and a single Direct TV receiver. Rounding out the entertainment package is a new (2013) Pioneer App Radio located in one of the two teak cabinets behind salon settee. Three M-Mats power amps drive 16 total speakers throughout the boat divided into six zones with volume controls for each zone. Steps leading out to the helm deck provide more storage and the house batteries.
