Remarks Besides being beautiful, this is probably Monk's most creative space design. There is so much room, and so many different areas on a 43 ft boat. The boat is truly beautiful, both the exterior, interior, and the quality of the finish. She is VERY roomy with very high ceilings and large windows. She has (at least 8) separate environments. On a long cruise you are not crowded by your guests.
The Pilothouse, has a very manly captain's chair and a superb couch. The Portuguese bridge has forward facing seating for about 8.
Flybridge deck area above salon has room for several chairs to lounge, sun bathe, or dance! The salon has great visibility outside and the Salon dinette table has a beautiful inlaid table, which seats 8 in comfort! Galley cabinets have door storage with deep sliding drawers instead of fixed deep shelves. Full storage with seating and water cooler was added on the port side of the salon. A flat panel TV was added, freeing the previous deep space, now available for a washer/dryer combo (also Lazarette can have washer dryer) copious amounts of storage spaces available under salon seating, under Portuguese bridge seating, around mast, under salon side bench (added).
Slanted windows in Pilothouse eliminate glare and make for great visibility. The Pilothouse has perfect forward and side visibility (very high and near the bow), and it is aided with a camera for rear visibility (can also check the engine room) The Cable master aft is a blessing, but if necessary it has connections (cables included and adapters) for forwards A/C, water, cable TV, phone are also convenient.
The Lazarette has very easy access with beautiful steps. The Engine room can be accessed from two locations in Salon, plus through Lazarette.
