Being the first boat, I was impressed by the lay-up as it was done well and the boat presented exceptionally well as it keep drawing me back to her. The major issue I and many others had was the wood work inside, which was a dark stained mahogany.It appeared to be a rushed job as the finish was not up to the standard that one would expect in a boat of this caliber. The yard is very much aware of the feed back on the interior finish and I am sure it will be corrected as the people associated with the boat yard seem to be responsive to the feedback!! The boat has some neat features and has a feeling of spaciousness even though it is a 38' boat. The staterooms were done up nicely along with the heads. The fly bridge was huge for a boat of this size. The King also had a nice cockpit with space for a built-in Barbie, fish holding tanks, sink etc. There was a large space under the lift up stairway to the flybridge for things like a washer-dryer or other things. Engine access was thru large hatches in the cockpit with plenty of room for a genny and air-con. I did not get a chance to go for a trial run on her as we had to leave for Canada but we will certainly do a good run when we get back to OZ!! I have pic's of the boat as well as other Cat's that were at the show!! Cheers! Lloyd
