All through-hull fittings are bronze below the waterline, and stainless steel above. Flat deck surfaces are white premium gelcoat with contrasting diamond-patterned molded non-skid areas. One-piece 14” stainless steel bow rail tapers at midship. Large FRP hardtop with painted non-skid top on 3” welded tube legs (powder-coated white).
