Just viewed the boats listing on another site.. curious why the 2 engine controls? One dual clutch and throttle, a second single electronic control. No come-home engine listed or in pics, what's the purpose?
Nice ship otherwise.

Just backup set of controls, no get home engine, maybe a sail for mast and boom would help slightly ?
