The RS 230 SLC doesn't skimp on the comforts either. Its furniture features Fiberglass Seat Bases with an integrated built-in cooler. But, that's not all. A Changing Room with Privacy Curtain and Frame ensures privacy when needed. The boat also comes with a Cooler Bag, Soft Sided with a Crest Logo, raising the bar for onboard luxury.
A quick glance at the beauty’s helm reveals its smart tech features.
