Mostly a group of cuddy-cabin "isms". IMO.

I want a cabin I can stand up in, personally, but you don't find that
in most boats in this category.
No place for charting. Everybody sits on the head, regardless of gender
or type of use. Stowage at a real premium. All cuddy-cabinisms.

This boat would be super for a weekend. It would be suitable for longer
cruises (like a 10 day vacation) with frequent reprovisioning. Not that
big an inconvenience, as I suspect anybody running that big engine
really hard will be stopping for fuel every day or so anyway.

If I were designing the boat, I would put in some sort of galley stove
as a standard item. The small fridge is standard, and so is the
microwave. As there is no gen set, you can't even make coffee unless
you're on the 110 umblilical cord. Maybe the alcohol electric stove is
an option to help reduce the mfgr's liability- those things do cause a
bit of damage sometimes and there could be some finite legal point
revolving around "the customer asked for the stove, specificially"?
Who knows. The text does say that a cooktop is optional, not standard.

Did I find a glaring cheapness or obvious deficiency? Frankly, no.
There are hundreds of little subjective things that any two people
would disagree on- but during the brief inspection described
there was nothing that seemed tackily done.

===================

An inverter or small one burner butane stove takes care of that pretty
easily. I can't imagine spending more than a long weekend on board
however.
