45 Convertible

Low side wings afford spectacular visibility from the flying bridge. Helm and companion pedestal seats are standard and the long bridge deck not only allows ample room for guests to maneuver behind the chairs, but also shields the cockpit from sun and spray. Electronics stow in three separate weatherproof compartments convenient to the helmsman’s line of sight and the engine gauge package is equally easy to monitor. Power-assisted hydraulic steering is standard and electronic controls and trolling valves also are available. Ahead of the console is a comfortable L-shaped lounge with ample stowage below. There is additional stowage beneath the starboard lounge and aft facing jump seat.

Taking full advantage of the husky beam, the salon is impressive. An L-shaped sofa converts to a double bed and has rod stowage below. Forward, the U-shaped galley features undercounter refrigeration and solid surface countertops. Appliances are concealed behind beautifully hand-finished teak joinery. Stowage is surprisingly abundant thanks to sliding dual-rack systems in the deep cabinetry. Opposite the galley the cozy dinette is inviting for snacking or full-course meals.
