I learn a lot asking these questions here, so once again...
American Tug uses a Nova Kool fridge on the 395. Although by all accounts it is a well made unit that has excellent factory support I find it...well...a little ugly!
It fits the space well and they do use some stainless panels in the doors which dresses it up a bit but...
I have asked if they would install a Vitrifrigo door/drawer model instead.
They will but I would have to live with a 1" or so narrower step/entryway to the pilot house and we would have to move the fridge up into the space occupied by the microwave. This would also eliminate a little carpeted bowl like space behind the helm seat that is provided for binoculars...
We don't want a microwave anyway so that doesn't bother us.
The Nova Kool uses a single BD-35 compressor for both fridge and freezer section whereas the Vitrifrigo uses two separate BD units, one for fridge and one for freezer. The VF looks a lot more modern (better) and uses a door for the fridge and a drawer for the freezer. The freezer on the VF is larger and I believe the fridge is a bit larger too...
