As you enter the vessel, either midship starboard or from the rear raised deck, you are welcomed into a warm roomy salon with custom teak tables, seating in a dark blue leather, two custom barrel chairs, and a custom built entertainment center. Aft to port and down three steps you have the open and airy U-shaped galley with custom built-in refrigerators and freezer, and to starboard is the cozy raised dinette that also converts to sleep an additional two. Aft of the salon and down three stairs there is a private office space and walk in closet. There is also a complete lower helm with a custom folding helm seat to starboard, all combining to make the interior of this vessel an inviting area for enjoying the family or entertaining guests.

Forward you will find the guest stateroom with large V-berth (84" long x 34" wide) and custom bedding & window treatments. There are plenty of bookshelves, drawers, hanging lockers and extensive underfloor storage. The guest stateroom also has a private head with separate stall shower, Corian countertops, a vanity mirror and built-in electric hairdryer.

The Master stateroom has a comfortable queen berth (81" x 61") with a custom mattress and custom bedding, two night stands and a TV and stereo system and a 12,000 BTU reverse cycle air-conditioning and heat unit. You also have plenty of storage space and a hanging locker. The private Master ensuite head has a large stall bath/shower, Corian counters, vanity mirror and a tub. The washer/dryer is conveniently located in the side lockers.

The vessel also has the comfort of heat and air conditioning thru out. With stand up headroom in the engine room with excellent light, ventilation and access to all machinery with designated space for tools and additional spare parts.

The salon can be accessed by either the aft deck which is the preferred "protected" entrance while in rough seas or from starboard entry via the side deck at the helm station.

The Salon has been completely remodeled with new teak paneling and has a telescoping TV in a custom entertainment center. There are two custom stools, with added storage under the cushions, two custom barrel chairs and custom woven shades. The salon area is also equipped with a DirecTV satellite receiver and a Sony stereo and CD/DVD player.

Forward on the port side is a breakfast counter which faces the galley, and across to starboard is the lower helm station with a fold down helm seat and navy blue leather upholstered cushion.81.6" headroom in salon

A Grunert Refrigeration holdover system is not like your common household refrigerator. The availability of 110 volt power is limited on a boat therefore, the refrigerator is not capable of cycling on and off every time the door is opened allowing cold air to escape and the air temperature to increase. Holdover refrigeration enables you to "maintain" box temperatures over a period of time. For instance, imagine the holdover plate as being a large sponge, but instead of absorbing water, it absorbs heat. The holdover plate is sized so that it can continuously absorb heat while the condenser is off. Once the holdover plate has absorbed it's capacity in heat (larger plates have more BTU capacity), the condenser needs to cycle on to remove the heat. All Grunert holdover plates are filled with a eutectic solution that maintains the same temperature through the duration of its holdover period. The freezer plates are frozen at 0 degrees Fahrenheit and the refrigerator plate freezes at 26 degrees Fahrenheit. The refrigerator of freezer's box temperature will be approximately 10 degrees higher than the plate temperature. The condenser needs to run about 1 to 1.5 hours to completely remove the heat in the eutectic solution.

Whether you go boating to make a living or live to go boating, you want the engine that gives you the best return on investment. A diesel with low life-cycle costs.

The 6125A is such an engine. It pays high dividends of performance, reliability, long life and low operating costs. It is designed to give you more value per dollar than any other diesel engine.

The 6125A produces 460hp and over 1200 pounds of prop twisting torque. This high torque power comes from big cubic inch displacement. There is no need for over-sized fuel injectors, multi-circuit cooling systems or high RPM settings. In fact, with 674 cid (11 Liters) the 6125 has more cubes than many of its competitors. It's 1.4-2.1 cid per HP ratios are conservative to promote long engine life and its maximum RPM is 2300 instead of 2500 or 2800. Only a Lugger has the features it takes to give you high performance without sacrificing engine life, onboard comfort or fuel economy.

Nodular cast iron pistons with oil spray cooling. Wet, replaceable cylinder liners. Individual, four valve cylinder heads. Freshwater aftercooler. Liquid cooled turbo. Engine and gear oil coolers. Bosch type injection. VDO instrumentation. The list goes on and on so your Lugger will run on and on. Fuel is your largest operational expense. It makes sense to minimize it. The 6125A's SFC (specific fuel consumption rate) goes as low as 0.355 lbs/hp/hr. That's how an engineer says "Saves big bucks at the fuel dock". Compare a Luggers SFC with any engine in its class. And remember, lowering the SFC by only one tenth of a pound per horsepower could save you thousands of fuel dollars over the life of the engine. Extremely compact for its displacement and power, a 6125 will fit in a tight engine room. Unlike a wall to wall vee engine, its inline design makes it easy to service.

A Lugger is a four cycle (4 stroke) diesel engine. It's quieter and cleaner than a two stroke diesel. Individual isolated valve covers, liquid cooled turbo, crankshaft dampener, even the blocks design, all work to reduce noise and vibration. The Lugger 125 series are the only engines in their class with cast nodular iron pistons. This metallurgical break through gives Luggers performance, life and efficiency advantages over engines with one and two piece aluminum pistons. -Equal thermal expansion of the piston and liner allows a closer fit between them. Power loss past rings is reduced. -Keystone shaped compression ring reduces carbon build-up during light load operation. -Iron is stronger than aluminum. This allows the top compression crown minimizing the combustion dead zone and increasing efficiency. Ring inserts are not needed. -Iron transfers heat evenly for longer life. -Dual circuit piston oil cooling allows higher combustion temperatures for more power output per c.i.d., less exhaust smoke and more efficient use of fuel. -Massive wrist pins for strength -Light weight. The 6125 piston weighs only 6.5 lbs. That's less than aluminum pistons used in some competitive engines. -One piece design. It can't come apart and destroy the engine like a two piece piston.
