I pulled these pictures of a for sale listing and am putting them up as this boat has very non standard interior layout. I have commented on the pictures that show the alternate layout this boat seems to have been built with.

Classic DE look
Just noticed that it looks like there are lazy jacks on the boom. For the most part she looks pretty stock on deck.
Dingy davits and a boarding ladder kinda clutter up the transom but it all looks ship shape.
The only thing in the cocpit that looks non stock is the bimini. I know I was drooling over that :)
The fordeck looks pretty stock..
Notice the chart table forward of the starboard settee. The looks factory to me based on the floor foot print. Also on starboard they moved the settee all the way up against the hull to give more walkway room in the center of the salon. Plus the L shaped settee with free standing table make for a very different look. I would assume that the table lowers maybe to make a bed there.
This picture was really interesting. Where the chart table normally is is just a door.. It makes you wonder what is behind it.. A head? An actuall little cabin with the pilot berth there? The galley looks pretty standard from what I can see.
The Vberth here looks pretty standard.. At first I thought the seat area was larger but on looking at it again I think it is the same as on Valkyr.. Just looks nicer with all the cushions lining it.
Nothing much here that looks different.
