One of the highlights of this model is the expansive owner’s suite aft, with a king-sized centerline bed and a head with a separate shower stall and seat. Another remarkable feature is the engine room with its own door. This dedicated, well-insulated and well-lighted machinery space allows access to all sides of the engine – originally a 62 HP Perkins or Lehman. On the starboard side of the engine there’s a cabinet and room for additional equipment like a water-maker. To port, there’s enough space for a small genset and the forward bulkhead has plenty of room for equipment installation including a battery charger, fuel filters, and the raw water strainer.

Tayana has been a popular name in yacht building for decades. In the 1980s, the Robert Harris- designed 42 was successfully introduced and it is still being built today.

These boats are all different in terms of performance and construction details, but they share a similar approach to onboard living solutions by virtue of the center cockpit. It arranges interior spaces to maximize privacy and creates an aft stateroom. Many luxury passagemaking yachts today continue with the center cockpit design, following up on the visionary attention to comfort started by these groundbreaking predecessors.

Bait is equally important to fishermen, and the Aquasport has a bait station under a hinged panel in the transom coaming with a sink and washdown. Two insulated baitwells on each side can be fitted with optional recirculating systems. The Stratos, on the other hand, has a 32 gallon aerated baitwell in the cockpit floor near the transom, and a bait prep area is atop the transom coaming here

In general, both cockpits are deep enough for security, are self-bailing, and have enough room to handle a team of anglers. The Stratos has a walk-through transom door leading to the outboard bracket area, and the sole at the helm is raised 9 inches, providing extra height for the helmsman as well as protection from cockpit water. here

The Aquasport has shifted to a fiberglass stringer system that is first bonded into the hull by vacuum bagging, and then injected with foam. This foam doesn't add strength, although it does act to absorb sound and prevent water from filling the stringers if the hull is holed. The inner liner for the cockpit sole is then bonded to the top of these stringers, creating a monocoque structure that is both light and stiff. Aquasport touts the fact that there is no wood used below water level in this hull.

Both boats had twin outboards: the Aquasport with Suzuki 225 horsepower EFIs and the Stratos (as befits an OMC-owned company) with 200 hp. Johnson Ocean Runners. The Aquasport uses an externally mounted transom bracket made by Stainless Marine, while the Stratos has the engines transom mounted. Since both our test boats had been rigged by the respective engine manufacturers, we could find no flaws in the installations. [links]

In this area, the Stratos is the hands down winner, both for space and comfort. With 6 feet 1 inch of headroom, it has enough room to spend a night or two without feeling too terribly cramped. A counter top to port has a sink with pressure water and, on our test boat, a Kenyon one-burner stove. Below the counter is an optional front-opening AC/DC Norcold refrigerator. The enclosed head compartment to starboard has 5 feet 7 inches of headroom, molded fiberglass sink and counter, and optional hand shower. [links]

The Necromorph that damaged the window earlier turns out to be a Brute. When Isaac heads to Bridge Security, the Brute smashes the doors open and Isaac is forced to defeat it. In a blood stained Security Room, Nicole's face mysteriously appears on a monitor asking him to 'make us whole again' before disappearing. It is in this room that Isaac activates the Atrium elevator. On the way down, he hears a woman scream and finds a video log of Dr. Kyne attempting to relieve Captain Matthius of duty (as he is a crazed Unitologist who wants to deliver The Marker to the Church of Unitology) and accidentally stabs him in the eye with a needle while trying to sedate him. Kendra contacts Isaac when he exits the elevator to tell him that some of the gravity plating is malfunctioning and from this point on he will have to avoid certain areas with distortion coming from the floor. He navigates through the Ship Systems Room and removes a small barricade using Kinesis when a second Brute tears through a metal panel and attacks him. At the back of the room is where the debris that breached the hull landed and it has dislodged two harmful electric cables that Isaac needs to slow down with Stasis in order to pass and activate one of the three junction boxes. Several Leapers attack him when he returns to the Main Atrium level. Then he takes a second opposite elevator to either Level 01 or 03. here

On level 01, Kendra contacts him to tell him that the Necromorphs are bio-recombinators which absorb dead flesh and mold it into new forms and also that The Corruption is a habitat changer. A door burst open in a Mining Administration Hall which creates a vacuum but Isaac passes through into the Admin Room. Corpses are hanging from the ceiling in this room and there is another crater caused by the debris, the monitor that controls the junction box is at the back of the room and once it is activated, an Infector enters the room. Isaac then returns to the elevator. here

This level sees Isaac trying to keep the Ishimura from being ripped apart from the upcoming meteor shower since the Ishimura's orbit is not decaying anymore. Isaac makes it to the bridge, where he runs into his largest enemy yet: a Brute. The ADS Cannon's three main power sources are offline and Isaac has to turn them back on. When all three sources are turned on the player will have to head to an ADS Cannon to control it until Hammond turns the defense system back on. The player will have to pass a Zero G environment (the starboard hull) to get to the cannon at the other side but use caution; hundreds of meteors are still striking the hull and even a glancing hit will cause death. Fortunately the section of hull he must cross is dotted with bulkheads that will protect Isaac from the periodic barrages. When Isaac crosses the hull and enters the firing pit for ADS Cannon 47 he takes manual control of the cannon while Hammond works to restore the ADS Grid's automated tracking system. During this period Isaac must destroy as many asteroids as possible. The Cannon can fire both barrels on either Semi-automatic or fully automatic. Once Isaac succeeds in saving the ship from asteroids, Kendra appears with news of a threat of poisened air coming from the greenery of the Hydroponics Deck.

On level 03, the vanishing man appears and whispers 'make us whole again' and when Isaac approaches him, he runs off. After killing a Pregnant, he re-routes the power to the last junction box. Hammond contacts him and tells him that, although they have enough power, the ADS auto targeting system is offline due to faulty data cable. He needs Isaac to aim it manually until he can replace it. Isaac then takes yet another elevator up and Hammond tells him to avoid asteroids while he crosses the ship exterior to reach the cannon. The asteroids stike the hull at regular intevals and Isaac uses some bulkheads to shield himself. Once he reaches ADS Cannon 47, Isaac has to shoot the asteroids in order to maintain the hull's integrity until Hammond manages to repair the cable (which switches the Cannon back to automatic). Isaac travels back across the exterior and is attacked by some Leapers when Kendra tells them both that the oxygen levels are falling because something is poisoning the Hydroponics Deck oxygen production. Kendra tells Isaac to return to the Medical Deck and create a poison that she mentally fabricated of in order to kill the toxic Necromorphs and Hammond says he is going to Hydroponics to try and slow the Necromorphs down long enough for Isaac to create the poison.

Having taken the tram from the Engineering Deck to the Bridge, Isaac is contacted by Hammond who tells him to meet him in the Captain's Nest and also tells Kendra to get into the ship reports but she only responds with questions about The Marker and seems to believe he is withholding information about it. Hammond only claims to know that the crew brought The Marker into the Cargo section of the ship and that they believed it to be of alien origin. Kendra's insistence that Hammond is lying is ignored when he realizes that the ship has just entered the debris field. As Isaac heads near the Main Atrium, an unknown form of Necromorph punches a hole through a window and screeches before disappearing. A piece of debris crashes through the ships hull and leaves a huge hole on many levels of the Atrium right before Isaac reaches the Captain's Nest where Hammond is waiting. Once there Hammond tells him that the main power routing to the ADS is shot and that he will have to re-route it manually through three junction boxes in order to activate the primary cannon. Also, the elevator to the lower levels of the Atrium needs to be activated from the Bridge Security Room; before Isaac leaves he gets a warning from Hammond that he spotted a Necromorph of considerable size. The Necromorph that Hammond previously trapped in an escape pod in Chapter 2: Intensive Care turns out to still be alive so Hammond launches the pod in order to stop it from breaking out into the Captain's Nest.

Enter the Port Crew Quarters and use the Fighter Pit Controls to disable the force field. Kill the crew members and break everything in the area to collect more orbs and S.H.I.E.L.D. credits. Next, return to the main bay and enter the Starboard Crew Quarters. Do the same sort of thing that you did on the other side and pick up the Striking Upgrade. Go back to the main bay and head for the door on your mini-map. more

While on the Outer Hull, your camera will be in a fixed position again. You will run into two more bosses to take out: Starbolt and Warstar. Warstar will pop out of the floor in an ambush attack. Take him out first and then go after Starbolt, who has moved down the path a little bit. Pick up their gear and continue on.
