61' Custom Carolina Billy Holton 2008

Entering the main salon, the portside holds a large custom u-shaped leather sofa with ample storage beneath. This location allows comfort and seating when dinning for up to six guests at the large Release Marine burled maple hi-lo table. The salon area starboard showcases a large Sony 40" pop-up television. Moving to the galley area there is a roomy Release Marine burled maple dinette table with seating for six. The dinette area also has a second 32" Sony flat screen television for viewing through out the area. Beautiful teak and holly floors and Corian counter tops decorate the dinette and galley. Four sub-zero under counter refrigeration and freezer units, a Kenyon four burner cooktop, and a GE space maker microwave oven equip the galley. The rich cherry finish interior carries forward through the vessel to the master stateroom portside. This room houses a large queen berth, hanging cedar lined closet, and ample drawer space and storage. Attached, the spacious private master head contains a full shower and is adorned with teak and holly floors and solid surface counter tops. To the starboard side companionway, there is a large single berth and a spacious hanging locker. The forward stateroom location provides three large berths, drawer space, and hanging locker. This stateroom also has a well designed standing rod locker that can hold everything from 80's to spinning gear.

The entire interior finish work and craftsmanship are top notch. The salon is roomy and spacious with beautiful cherrywood finishes throughout. You are met with a teak and holly sole at the salon entrance and an air push button salon door. A U-shaped settee with a Release Marine Hi-Lo cherry table is on the port side and the electrical panel and pop up 40" Sony Flat Screen TV lay to starboard.
